ARTWORK BY MICHAEL VOLKAR
LGBTQ Art In L.A.
Fine art, spirituality and the dance of darkness.
MICHAEL VOLKAR
A 28 year old West Hollywood artist by day and GoGo dancer by night, Michael Volkmar “loves to work in a wide range of artistic mediums from costume design-to graphic design,” however, his true passion, he tells THE FIGHT, is “fine art using pen & ink. Last year my pen & ink work was even featured in the Beverly Hills Art Show.”
“Growing up in an extremely religious town with strict religious parents my rebellion toward following what I was taught has always been a theme in my artwork,” reveals Volkmar. “I’m constantly exploring themes of religion, gods, and what spirituality means to me now.”
