Micha Patiniott

Micha Patiniott is a Dutch visual artist working at the intersection of painting and text. He explores the (im)possibility of direct contact, where the mundane meets the mystical, intimacy meets estrangement, and expression begins to unravel.

He was a resident artist at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam (2006–07).
