“I evoke an emotion using spatial dimension, atmosphere, and defining architecture. There are many paintings within the painting. Typically, there is not just one straightforward view, but many spatial directions and abstractions of space to move through. I am interested more in a journey through the space and paint than a particular fixed image. I create a space that the viewer is free to roam around in. There are no figures in the paintings because I want the figures in the paintings to be the viewer.” —Michael Bartmann
