Michelle Araujo, aka Mia was born in the breadbasket of pop surrealism, Los Angeles, and grew up in a world saturated in animation and cartoons. She believes that each individual contains an entire universe within them and strives to depict this in her paintings. Her work reads as personal portraits that represent all the unseen forces at work within the subject, be it spirits, inner demons, conflicting emotions or the imagination, resulting in an amalgam of imagery. Each painting weaves multiple layers of detail, in an attempt to represent the multi-faceted personalities of her characters, their complex identities and their personal mythologies.
Michelle Araujo used acrylic on wood to paint these brilliant and detailed pieces.
