Picture

Michael Fikaris is an experiential artist who's artwork stems from inquiries into identity and purpose.

A Greek Ukrainian Australian, born in the City of Melbourne and raised in North Queensland, Fikaris has developed a diverse practice over the past 10 years that moves across illustration, printmaking, painting, installation and research. Whether creating 
a comic zine or a large scale outdoor painting, each project is considered an opportunity to connect with people and place.

Fikaris has shown widely in Australia and undertaken residencies in East Timor, Portugal, Indonesia, Germany and Greece with works published in France, Italy, Spain, Latvia and Canada.  His artwork is collected in the National Gallery of Victoria (Living Artists Collection), State Library of Victoria (Artists' Books Collection) and National Gallery of Australia (Book Arts Collection). 

Alongside this oeuvre, Fikaris is also an editor, publisher and community arts practitioner, who founded Silent Army Projects in 2010. This long standing dedication to his community, saw him awarded the 2017 Platinum Ledger for outstanding service to Australian comics.



“Michael Fikaris is a great worker in comic books, a remarkable innovator and scene setter… he’s really part of the materiality of Melbourne”.
Smart Arts, Triple R FM Radio , Melbourne, 2023

I acknowledge that I live and work on the stolen land of First Nations people, that Sovereignty over Country was never ceded and that colonisation is an ongoing process. I pay my respects to Elders, past and present.
