Emmanuel Michel was born in 1970. Since the 1990s, he has travelled the world and devoted himself to painting and sculpture. A member of the French Explorers Society, he draws his inspiration mainly from his travels on the five continents.
His work is resolutely turned towards man in his daily life with his culture, his rites, his simplicitý. Back in his studio, he shares his emotions and encounters from the ends of the earth through his drawings, paintings, engravings and sculptures.
He holds numerous exhibitions in France and abroad, regularly collaborates with various magazines, participates in documentaries, and carries out public commissions. A dozen books relate his work.
He lives and works in the south-west of France and is currently working on a commission from the Société des Membres de la Légion d’Honneur, which wishes to install a sculpture of Napoleon in the town of Montauban. The bronze sculpture will be installed in the heart of the city in November 2021, the anniversary of the creation of the Tarn et Garonne department by Bonaparte.
