ABOUT

Michael Valdez(°1994, Belgium) is an artist working primarily within the broad domain of media art. Growing up as a multi-ethnic and queer person trying to navigate a western (hetero)normative society, he started questioning the concept of otherness and various dichotomies he was confronted with over the years(nature/culture, virtual/real, gay/straight, etc.). His work thus frequently explores the merging  and subversion of these seeming oppositions: fantasy with realism, comedy with horror, the artificial with the natural.

Apart from his artistic activity, Michael is active as a lecturer 3D sculpting at LUCA School Of Arts in Ghent.
