ABOUT THE ARTIST
Originally from the South of France, Mickaël is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist whose work blends physical form, image, sound, movement, and words. He studied at the prestigious Beaux-Arts School, where he began exploring the emotional power of storytelling through painting, photography, film, music, and, more recently, discarded plastic.
His career spans constant reinvention: his films have screened at over 180 international festivals, including Cannes and LA Shorts Fest, winning numerous awards; his music has charted in the UK and Iceland. Across all media, his art seeks to inspire empathy and change.
Now based between Europe and Bali, Mickaël founded Plastic Angels, an ambitious art and humanitarian project transforming plastic waste into monumental multimedia artworks. These creations address environmental degradation and give voice to marginalized communities, especially the children of Suwung, Bali’s largest landfill. Proceeds help fund daily meals, clean water, and education for underprivileged youth.
Through his work, Mickaël reveals the hidden beauty and resilience within forgotten places and people, showing how creativity can spark transformation and build a more conscious, compassionate, and beautiful world.
