Michelle Hold is born in Munich, and grew up in Austria. She started studying architecture in Austria, then dropped by a chance in modelling, giving her exposure on the international circuit. She has lived in Paris, New York, Hong Kong and Munich, where she attended various art and textile design classes and subsequently worked as textile designer in Milan where her designs have been used by Krizia, Escada, Ungaro and Bluemarin etc. She has been shown in different artfairs and exhibitions in the United States of America, China, Europe and her works are in private collections in Italy, Austria, Great Britain, Romania, Usa, Germany. Michelle Hold is intrigued by the new concepts of science and existence, and explores these abstract concepts through her work. She paints in an energetic fashion, making use of colours well with her knowledge in textile design and fashion. Her fascination with mystery led her to explore techniques of transparency, and fuels her in painting abstract works.

"In my work I am filtering what interests me, so the paintings become a reflection of reality, my thoughts and hopes distilled through my experiences in life, into abstraction."
