Michiel was born in Oudwijk, Utrecht, a stone's throw from the Rietveld Schröder house. Fittingly, he has spent his high school time at the Gerrit Rietveld college. Art is a relatively new path that Michiel has taken after years of working as a graphic designer and web designer.
Michiel is currently based in Bali, Indonesia where he draws inspiration from the magical sunsets and the beauty of the colorful nature in his surroundings. With one foot in the Netherlands and one foot in Indonesia, he brings the two worlds together in his art.
