Michael Archibald

Visual Art – Toronto

My name is Michael Archibald and I am a traditionally trained painter who lives and works in Toronto, Canada. After years of working as a digital artist and designer, I was inspired by the qualities and chroma of digital art. I began, several years ago, experimenting with phosphorescent and luminescent acrylics and inks in the hope of allowing my paintings to achieve the 3-dimensional quality often found in most digital media. The result has been an ever expanding body of work which, under varied lighting, and even in the dark, offers unique and often changeable images with layers of depth that is rarely seen in any two-dimensional static medium.
