In Michaelartz artistry, he works a lot with portraying and capturing an impression of his artistic vision of the world with his views, values, and creative expression.

Often experimenting with various mediums, materials and colors to find new discoveries in his artistic world. 

Artz´s creativity is built upon a palette where color becomes its own language of transformation, be it social, political, or personal. Where the artwork is made with the intention of empowerment, humility, and curiosity. Each artwork becomes a symbol of the inspiration and references of Artz's artistic perspective of society with influences of history, values, and his Swedish origins.
