Michael J. Migliacci is a painter and educator with over 25 years of active practice. Currently based in Osaka, Japan. Michael’s work blends traditional painting, digital media, and generative Al, to explore the body as the threshold between natural and technological systems. His figures inhabit a space where biology and machinery are no longer opposites but collaborators. This latest collection of paintings addresses this permanent negotiation of the human condition.
