2021 //The Firelight Journey
For the first time ever Mikael has created a 3D animated digital artwork, which was available as a limited edition NFT on July 22nd.
“What if…you could actually dive into one of my paintings and if the painting became alive. I create infinite universes where everything is possible and being able to finally create digital 3D animated universes with the possibilities and proof of ownership via the blockchain technology and create a digital experience as an art piece is something I have been excited to do for a while. It’s something I have thought about doing for a very long time. Like what would one of my pieces look like if you could actually step into it. Discover my visual universes in a new way – explore, feel, see, hear and almost smell this unique universe.
What would it look like if my geometric universe was translated into a 3D universe animation? What if my geometric elements transitioned into tangible objects, materials and structures. It could be fire, lava, rock, stones, nature, sky, galaxies – all living together in its own universe.
I’m looking forward to finally unveiling this whole new universe of possibilities.”
– Mikael B.

Inner Visions
“The belief that you can take any crazy vision and turn it into reality…I had this in my mind when I created the mural “Inner Visions” experimenting with the warm the cold, the sharp the soft, the light the dark. With “Inner Visions” I want to keep dreams alive. Sticking with your vision and what you believe in is so important. When you have a vision it affects your attitude.
Your attitude becomes optimistic.”
