" I present an emotional connection to the real world through

a combination of vulnerability and strength."

- Michelle Eva May

Michelle Eva May is a South African-born contemporary portrait & figurative artist based in the United Kingdom.

 

She works in mixed media, employing layering techniques, strong colour contrasts and dripping paint to compose

a resonating balance of elegance and grit. Her compositions ultimately counter the traditional notion of portraiture, revealing internal layers of the human experience—including her own—with emotion and power.

Michelle Eva May's work has been sold to collectors worldwide: Japan, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, France and South Africa.
