Her cheeks are warm as if the air itself carries heat, and her lips curve with the secret only she knows. Love flickers inside her like a flame that refuses to be contained, steady yet wild, soft yet fierce. The red that surrounds her feels alive, pulsing with the rhythm of a heartbeat, while the gold glows like sunlight caught in the fire. She carries that spark as though it is both her strength and her surrender, letting it burn through every part of her. 

Do you remember a moment when passion felt so consuming it was almost like breathing fire and light at the same time?

This piece would look best in a medium-to-large space that is dark red, green, blue, purple, black, white, grey, 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.
