Roland Mikhail is a painter, sculptor, educator, and Brazilian Jujitsu blackbelt living and working in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. He teaches at Pratt Institute, and is artist in residence at the North American Sculpture Center.
The son of first-generation Egyptian immigrants, Mikhail has spent the last decade excavating his childhood and unearthing the shadowed parts of psyche. This journey, a deep inquiry into the realms of mythology, symbolism and the sacred, is reflected in his work.
