The Fine Art of M. K. Rozay
I believe the spirits of things past and present are invisible, but they exist, and want to be recognized. They want to be seen, and that is what my most recent artwork is all about. With no prior plan of composition or subject matter intended, I allow those spirits to come forward to reveal themselves within the movements of oil paint application. From there, I observe what’s trying to be communicated to me, and thus through the sequence of creation, manipulation, and deduction, must decide which spirit energies coming forward can be worked with, or painfully discarded in order for the painting’s overall composition to work.

Michael Kyle Rosenberg (AKA M.K. Rozay) is from Huntington, New York, and currently lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Along with formal training in Fine Art from the New York Institute of Technology, Rozay practices a procedure in oil painting where the life cycle of a new piece consists of its creation, manipulation, and deduction.
First, discovering what can be possible with the action of applying paint to a canvas. Second, manipulating that discovery with how the piece appears to be communicating with him and how it is trying to evolve. Then third, consolidating that piece based on what works, and what does not. Thus, opening new possibilities for the piece’s overall foreground, background, and positive/negative space composition.
