Born
in Casablanca in 1967, educated in London. Michael Onona' s paintings
essentially concentrate on
the depiction and conveyance of human emotion. Through his personal and
unconventional visions of beauty his imagery challenges our perceptions,
encourages the viewer to look and interpret these immensely bold visual
statements.
Onona'
s admiration for the old masters and the Renaissance
have in turn created for this self taught artist a personal quest to
achieve a blend of excellence of technique combined with powerful and
unnerving imagery.
A
constant regeneration of imagery and new themes are created within the
mind of this unique artist. Onona' s work deals with the 'disturbingly normal'
and finds that his own inner peace is achieved by the act of painting
and this in turn enables the exorcism from the constant and ever present
imagery that resides within his mind.
Onona'
s ever changing visions are held together as individual statements by
his enormous compositional strengths. His often symbolic imagery and the
conveyance of spiritual depth marks this artist out against any other
today.
