MICHAEL PAPE

Michael was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is self-taught. He’s always been fascinated by realistic painting styles and aims to portray dramatic realism in his paintings that take the viewer to a place where they would like to go, but normally cannot. In trying to capture this realism, each painting’s execution can take months, or even more than a year, to finish in either acrylic or a combination of mediums. As a result, the demand for his original artwork far exceeds Michael’s ability to create.
