If you are the proud owner of Ben Michal’s paintings, you are in good company. His artwork adorns the homes of many art collectors from all over the world, including some discriminating and notable people.

It is apparent the artist combines exquisite refinement with an intellectual vigor. Using these simple yet eccentric means, the artist conjures up a world of austere and quiet beauty. His works at first appear to be simple abstractions, but there is a message about everyday life contained in each one. They are a confrontation of the way the world lives. “What I enjoy is listening to the onlooker finding a shape, a scene or a vision that they find in the painting. What is exciting to me is how the paintings speaks to the viewer. What a thrill to know that the work evokes an emotion.” Each painting conjures a personal narrative.

Ben Michal has exhibited his artwork around the world and his artwork can be found in many private, corporate and public collections.

Ben Michal has been showing his work exclusively for the past 15 years at Desert Wolff art gallery in Palm Desert.
