Painter Michael Fratangelo chose to manage emotion by creating paintings that he calls “metaphorical portraits.” The artist creates commissioned works by depicting not the people who asked for the work, but the metaphors that, on the canvas, define the emotional experience they evoke in him.

“The purpose of my work is to return communication to the spiritual path through the use of color and shape. I believe that color and shape are paths to the spiritual. When I paint, I seek within myself the immediate inspiration. I believe my works are spiritually guided.”
