STUDIO & GALLERY
MICHAEL ROBERT MAHALAK
Michael hails from Gulfport, Mississippi, but he grew up in North Carolina, where his passion art first took root. He began by sketching Saturn rockets and space shuttles, eventually transitioning to cartoon drawings. In high school, he dreamed of becoming a cartoon animator or comic book artist, but college allowed him to delve deeper into his artistic pursuits. During this time, he created a style called Fractionalism, influenced by a mathematical idea, which has become a signature aspect of his artwork.
