Miel Krutzmann (born 1984) is a Dutch contemporary artist known worldwide for his striking surrealist paintings, executed with an incredible level of detail.
Already at the age of 16, his great talent led him to the art academy, where he began his formal studies. Rietveld Academy i Amsterdam.
Miel reflects on everyday life in a very special way. By weaving together complex details and imaginative images, he creates works that bridge the boundaries between reality and fantasy.
Each work invites us to travel through layered dimensions of emotion, where familiar forms are transformed into something differently unfamiliar.
The works are thus an attempt to scratch at the superficial layers, to then open up to the underlying inner worlds. 'Arising Realities' is an invitation to reflect on the mysteries of the mind and the infinite possibilities that lie in our world of thought.
Today, he is known worldwide for his large oil paintings as well as murals, often created in collaboration with Telmo as part of the duo Telmo Miel.
