Michael Armstrong Art
The art of human experience
Michael (Mike) Armstrong is artist and founder of Mandala Studio. He's a benevolent figurative artist, painter and art photographer passionate about the human form and humankind. He is a highly trained professional artist with a passion for creating unique, meaningful and inspiring pieces. Mike aims to convey a deep inner expression through his work rather than only describing the external form. He creates emotive allegories based on themes of love, loss, pain, shame and hope. His contemporary works draw on real-life situations, a wealth of literary sources as well as intensely personal, psychological symbolism.
Mandala Studio is Mike's art studio-gallery. He supports his community through the studio, his collections including Voices of Veterans and through Rogue BJJ Canberra. He is a proud Australian veteran and artist-in-residence at the University of Canberra. Mandala Studio is where he makes his incredible art and exhibits it all year round. He also offers art classes, sculpting from life courses, life drawing classes and traditional art classes in his art studio-gallery.
