"My driving passion in my work is to create life. To mould the paint in such a way that it becomes alive and divorced from the technicalities of painting. If I achieve this, then I am happy."
Michael J. Austin, July 2023
Michael J Austin lives and works in Devon. In 2003, he was invited by HRH the then Prince of Wales to accompany him to India and Oman as Tour Artist. In November 2016, he again accompanied HRH Prince Charles, together with HRH the Duchess of Cornwall, (now King and Queen), on a tour of the Middle East, visiting Oman, the UAE and Bahrain. He exhibits at many leading international art fairs and exhibitions with Jonathan Cooper, London.
Initially apprehensive about painting horses due to their common portrayal, the artist eventually embraced a transformative artistic approach. By employing a skilful use of minimalistic colours, he elevated the horse beyond a mere representation, capturing its essence in a captivating and magical manner.
