Hello, I'm Michael Artis
I’m a Forbes-featured portrait artist from Kansas City. Most people know me online as Artisma, where I create gold-painted portraits of strangers to tell emotional human stories centered around connection. Through my art and storytelling, I’ve built an audience of over half a million followers across platforms.
I’ve received two U.S. Congressional Art Awards. My work is owned by names including 50 Cent and billionaire Richard Branson, along with athletes, musicians, and influencers around the world. I also collaborated with Reddit on a digital collectible project where my collection personally sold out nearly 5,000 avatars in under 24 hours.
At the center of my work is one belief:
Everyone has a story,
and that story is the gold.
