Michael Fikaris is an Australian born artist and illustrator of Ukrainian and Greek descent. A central figure in both the comic book and street art movements in his hometown of Melbourne since the early 2000's, Fikaris works across commissions for comics, illustration, print, installation and large scale mural paintings.
Studying spaces between the natural and the manufactured environments around him informs many of the motifs seen in his work. Whether figurative or abstract, themes of place, purpose and identity run throughout his prolific output.
Fikaris is published by Kus (LV), Glom(AU), Radio as Paper(FR) & Strane Dizioni (IT) and exhibits in France, Portugal, Indonesia and Australia. His artwork is held in numerous private collections along with the National Gallery of Victoria (Living Artists Collection), State Library of Victoria (Artists' Books Collection) and National Gallery of Australia (Book Arts Collection).
Alongside his oeuvre, Fikaris is also an award winning editor, publisher and community arts practitioner, who founded Silent Army Projects.
