The multicultural experiences in Michal's past are constantly guiding his artwork into a place of greater social awareness. His passion for Japanese media as a force from early childhood is juxtaposed with socio-political and religious motifs to weave a complex narrative. This visual narrative never ceases to unfold and moves him towards a confrontation with his memories. Wisniowski is currently pursuing these ideas within a Master of Fine Arts degree at the San Francisco Art Institute.
