About Jeff Mihalyo: Pacific Northwest artist Jeff Mihalyo is a world-builder. Educated at Otis/Parsons in Los Angeles, his forty-year career spans the media, entertainment, and fine art industries. A versatile artist, Mihalyo has designed for giants like Microsoft, Disney, DreamWorks, and Jim Henson Studios, while leaving a mark on major cultural movements, from the 1980s LA surf/skate scene to the 1990s Seattle grunge era.   His multi-disciplinary expertise spans award-winning public art installations, large-scale restoration projects, and acclaimed fine art. Mihalyo’s paintings and scanography have been exhibited globally, including features at the Beijing and Santorini Biennales, with exhibitions spanning Berlin, Moscow, and beyond. Rooted in an intense curiosity about art history and the human condition, Mihalyo’s sold-out solo exhibitions—inspired by his travels through Italy, France, Spain, Morocco, and China—are held in private collections worldwide. Artist Statement: I create medium and large-scale, immersive oil paintings that command a room and anchor your space. By weaving together poetic narratives and philosophical balance, each artwork becomes an open-ended psychological journey that reveals new secrets to the viewer over time. I do not paint to provide answers; I paint to invite a lifelong conversation that is crafted for sophisticated and discerning eyes. My work offers an evolving visual experience allowing you to bring a striking narrative and an ongoing intellectual communion into your collection. https://www.instagram.com/jeffmihalyo/ https://www.facebook.com/jeff.mihalyo Website https://www.Mihalyo.com Other News...
