Mike Elsass

Mike Elsass became a painter after a career in business and a dream to have time to dedicate to writing.  Elsass explores the medium by sanding and rusting sheets of metal in search of new and different textures, then applies multiple layers of paint, shiny or opaque finishes. In the aging of the metals and its imperfections, Mike sees a mirror of human condition.  The fast drying quality of acrylics allow Mike to work with motivation and speed on several pieces at a time, expressing, as in a musical crescendo, his spontaneity and deep passion for life.
