Micha Patiniott

Micha Patiniott is a Dutch visual artist whose paintings explore the (im)possibility of direct contact between inner and outer, self and other, object and subject.

His works unfold in a shifting zone where images become legible while meaning keeps tilting, moving between intimacy and distance, the everyday and the cosmic, surface and emptiness.

Patiniott was a resident artist at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam.
