Michael Mantz 荷兰大画家 is a spiritualistic painter and a lawyer by profession. He was born on the 30th of August, 1953, in Hilversum, The Netherlands.
At 7 years old, Mantz got his first painting lessons from Albert Robbe,
who got his inspirations from Salvador Dali, and continued his painting
lessons with two other painters afterwards.
With his oil painting
of a Dutch Windmill, Mantz- at the age of 14 years old- was already
allowed to participate in an exhibition featuring all professional
artists of the Erfgooiers Group in Hilversum.
As time went on and
his life got busier, he had less time to create new pieces; however, his
passion for the canvas arts remained. Mantz was honoured to meet
Salvador Dali three times in his house in Port Lligat, Spain. During
Dali’s first visit in 1973, he made a drawing with his signature special
for Michael.
During that period, Mantz has become more focused on
the music industry. He performed, specialising in gypsy music, with some
of the best international musicians. In 2001, Mantz took up painting
again, but after producing only two oil paintings he was not able to
create the right circumstances to get the right inspiration. His
profession as a criminal lawyer in The Hague, his music and his other
activities distracted him from painting. According to Mantz, “Sometimes
you need unexpected changes in life to get new opportunities in life to
live the life you like to live”.
It was only in 2015 that he
revisited his old passion once more, and he has since become much more
satisfied with his recent paintings. While painting, Mantz got the
feeling that he relives the roots of his spiritual life from his youth
combined with his ever-growing life experiences. The overwhelming
positive feedback from his many supporters encourages him to continue.
Mantz knows he is “on the right track, and is excited and inspired to
produce many more paintings in future”.
