Michael Schmeja
Michael Schmeja is a Melbourne born abstract artist whose practice developed through formal training at the Victorian College of the Arts, where he earned a Diploma of Visual Art followed by a Bachelor of Fine Art with a major in Drawing. Working primarily with oil, acrylic, and mixed media, his work explores the intersection of natural, figurative, and architectural forms through a multi layered abstract language. Strongly influenced by Melbourne’s vibrant street art culture during his time at Blender Studios, Michael adopted a visual approach built on layering, repetition, and dynamic mark making. Since relocating to Valencia in 2016, where he works alongside European fine and urban artists, he continues to live and create between Spain and Melbourne, maintaining an active international practice.
