Special Edition ABSTRACT PAINTER MICHELLE HOLD
JaamZIN Creative
Hold’s artistic career consists of a multitude of significant turning points - she started studying architecture in Austria, was a successful fashion model in Milan, Paris and New York, studied textile design in London, subsequently working actively in Milan before finding her feet in abstract painting. Each experience has added a new dimension to her paintings, which embody the structured layering of architecture and a trained understanding of the minute differences in color hues.

Michelle says: ‘My work concentrates on the unseen, the everpresent energy that holds the universe together. I love to paint emotions, feelings, philosophical thoughts, states of mind. I aim to offer the spectators a view into special moments where all is possible, where my dance like gestures encounter the vibrations of color and I like my creations to enchant, add to wellbeing, bring beauty to a home and open the mind.’

When was 'Timeless' Project be founded? Where else do you operate and which other cities will you bring this exhibition to?
‘Timeless’is a project I thought of to enroll with the group of artists I have been working with for the last 10 years. We discuss and create artworks to a different theme every year, always in alignment with nature.The idea of ‘Timeless’ is to show that time is not linear but works circular , like the cycles of nature, There is time for seeding, growing, harvesting and resting , much like spring, summer, autumn and winter. By accepting this fact we can concentrate more on the moment instead of the outcome.We have confirmed exhibition dates for the Castle of Casale Monferrato, but are hoping to bring the exhibition to Milano, Torino or an Italian Culture Institute like in the past we had done in Vienna and Köln.

Uplifting thoughts
What kind of experiences do you have in that field?
Painting for a specific theme is always exiting because you start with an idea but the outcome is unknown.I love to curate exhibitions and have done so for 10 years, it is amazing to put works together that talk to each other and each work is a milestone to develop the theme.This exhibition ‘Anduma Building Bridges’ will be co-curated by Canadian gallery owner/ curator at Gallery 44, Bouwien Luppes, and me. Our concept is to build bridges between the masculine and the feminine, between bold and soft, movement and stillness, the old and the new. With the intention to inspire the viewer towards more loving and balanced days ahead. A future with room for uniqueness; acceptance of diversity, while connecting in humanity. We are 5 strong female painters:Christa Haack (Germany) Michelle Hold (Italy), Magdalena Morey (Spain)Janet Timmerije (Netherlands) Bea Garding Schubert (Germany)

What is your advice to new up and coming artists in art marketing success and art publicity and promotion?
Certainly the use of Instagram and Twitter to sell paintings, being present on online galleries like Saatchi, Singulart. But at the same time gather mind like artists around you, organize exhibitions yourself.

What is your philosophy?
I believe that we are all part of an amazing timeless creation, that we are entangled, each of us is pushing humanity forward sometimes backward as well, that our emotions are the key to change and improvement and we must learn to listen to this guidance by mediation, walking in nature , singing, painting, dancing etc.If we could hold the vision of a peaceful, united world and understand that we have to operate as a collective and not individuals fighting against each other we could do massive steps ahead.We just have to see how nature works.
