MICHAEL KIRÉ II

THE ART MASTER OF L’AUTOMATISME

WELCOME TO THE ARCHIVE COLLECTION:

The Roots of Innovation

Every artist’s journey is marked by pivotal moments—works that serve as both steppingstones and silent witnesses to creative transformation. This curated selection of my earlier pieces represents the essential foundation from which my current explorations in Automaticism and Asemic writing have emerged. These works are not simply “early attempts”; they are authentic, original expressions that capture the raw energy, curiosity, and experimentation of my formative years.
