Aaron Krone

Mike Stengl

Embodying ideals and societal narratives, the female figure has arguably been a central subject in art. Its prevalence is what makes this topic challenging as well. A painter, Mike Stengl, seeks to give personal optics on every figure he depicts. When discussing his style, the author replies, “A great painter once said, you are not […]

I approach each piece with a spirit of exploration, pushing […]
