Mike Dargas is an artist originally from Köln, Germany with an incredible talent for portraits. His roots on the banks of the Rhine began with drawing pictures regularly as a child. He had a knack for pastels and oil paintings, which led to him publicly displaying his pastel artworks outside the world-famous Kölner Dom. Graduating art school at a young age, his art took him to an unending plethora of art styles and modes. From sculpture, to award-winning tattoos, to the realistic portraits he makes today. His days of drawing with pastels on the streets of Köln are in the past, but the L.A.-based artist is creating the best art of his career as of late. His hyper-realistic artworks have been displayed all over the world, in exhibitions and for sale. Think London, New York, Singapore, Istanbul, L.A. and Miami. His talents are globally recognised, and it’s easy to see why.
