We wandered along the curve of the beach in Cannes, letting the salt air cling to our skin and the hush of the Mediterranean guide our steps. The golden sand warmed our feet, and the waves traced the shoreline like they were sculpting it anew with every breath. To our right, elegant trees cast soft shade over the promenade, and just beyond them, the grand old buildings of the city stood watching; quiet, regal, sunlit. Far ahead, the hills rose gently, cradling Cannes in their arms, while behind us the world slipped away without a sound. We didn’t talk much; we didn’t need to. The rhythm of the sea said more than we could. For a moment, it felt like we belonged to the coast itself; not as visitors, but as part of its slow, golden heartbeat.
If you could pause time anywhere, would it be by the sea?
This painting would look best in a space that is red, orange, yellow, green, dark blue, purple, black, white, beige, or wood

My Story
Hi, I’m Mike the artist of Mike Kraus Art Inc.
I’ve been making art since I could hold a crayon. As a kid, I’d fill every notebook, homework margin, and scrap of paper with doodles. I sold my first artwork in junior high, sketching in class and handing off pieces between periods. That early love for making things never faded. I followed it all the way to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and eventually, I decided to stop treating art as a side hustle and make it my life’s work.
My paintings are full of energy, motion, and saturated color. I’m drawn to bold shapes and organic lines—forms that feel alive. I create with the hope that my work brings something beautiful and uplifting into someone’s day. Whether it’s a spark of joy, a moment of calm, or just a splash of color that makes you pause—I want my art to connect with something real.
Now, I’m lucky enough to paint full-time, with collectors across the U.S. and in dozens of countries around the world. But more than anything, I still feel like that kid with a crayon, excited to create. I’m grateful to share this journey with you—and I hope you find something in my work that makes your world a little brighter.
