Patrik at work in his home studio
and almost always in his pajamas—in his off-the-Strip home studio. He also displays his work in an 8-by-10-ft. gallery space in the Fremont East district, an area he calls Vegas’ “new center of culture and activity.” His love of painting began in childhood. Even as an architecture student at University of Illinois, he chose paint brush over pencil. “I remember being told, ‘Michael, put away your paints, this is a drawing class,’” he says. “I refused.” Today, Patrik is using his new-found creative freedom to merge his interests through his architectural painting concepts. The first concept, Pixel, shows a canvas covered with individual brush strokes. Strata is made up of strategically placed horizontal or vertical lines. And Stitch, which Patrik creates by turning the canvas as he paints, features a grid of horizontal and vertical lines that intersect at 90 degree angles. Each original work is created by varying coverage, brush size and color juxtaposition. “It’s become a study of color adjacencies and texture,” Patrik says. The time it takes to complete a painting is dependent on its size, concept and degree of layering. For example, a 48-by-60-in. Pixel Micro painting, which uses ¼- to ½-in. brush strokes, may take three months and 30,000 strokes to complete. By comparison, a linear concept like Stitch may take three weeks. Patrik has also introduced his painting concepts to the art community at large by participating in exhibitions in Miami; Orlando, Fla.; Memphis, Tenn.; and Los Angeles. He’s also launched reproduction and miniature lines as a solution for designers looking for low price points or coordinating pieces of art. Next on Patrik’s wish list: creating original art for a hotel lobby, with reproductions in the locale’s guest rooms. A highend hospitality pillow line that executes his concepts using sewing, stitching and appliqué techniques is also in the works. “I can do so many things to that basic concept, but it’s still the same foundation,” he says. “To me, getting to that point was part of all of my experience and background.” BD
