Michael Moncibaiz
Michael Moncibaiz walks us through his strategies to achieve spontaneity, his focus on motion, and how context is key.
The technique of pushing cut paper around really arose for a need to capture more spontaneous moments, even more spontaneous or less conscious than actually drawing or sketching.
About the Artist
Michael Moncibaiz (b. 1981) is an El Paso, Texas-based painter. Michael’s work dissects architectural space through jagged planes of color suspended in a state of flux. Harnessing the spontaneity of collage Michael begins his paintings by working out a composition in paper collage. With draftsman-like precision he then translates the collage into paint, capturing the subtle shadows cast between paper creases to create an illusionistic sense of space.
