With a career that spans 20 years, Swiss artist Michel Huelin is amongst the most prolific living artists in Switzerland today. His ability to rapidly evolve and to translate his vision across multiple media has earned him well-deserved respect amongst art professionals. A painter by training, Huelin's latest work is digital, utilizing videos and inkjet prints. An artist who has also studied biology, his digital brushstrokes plunge the viewer into a virtual world of hybrid objects, both real and surreal, creating a sort of vegetation that the artist refers to as ‘phenotypic variations’.

Huelin’s previous exhibitions include: "Floating Device", Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland (2008); Zürcher Studio, New York and Galerie Zürcher; Paris (2008); Galerie Blancpain Art Contemporain, Geneva (2007); "Xenobiosis", Abbatiale de Bellelay (2006); "Karina Bisch - Michel Huelin", Ecole Municipale des Beaux-Arts, Châteauroux (2005).
