Michael Simpson | Sylentstudios

Michael Simpson is a Hawai‘i based fine artist and founder of Sylentstudios, creating cinematic digital paintings, luminous watercolors, richly textured oil works, and vibrant acrylic gouache pieces. His fine art prints, collected worldwide, capture the elemental beauty of Hawai‘i’s landscapes and the timeless pull of mythic storytelling.

Drawing on over three decades of multidisciplinary practice, Simpson blends painterly craft with an instinct for narrative atmosphere — each work a portal into a world where light, color, and emotion converge. From the shifting glow of volcanic horizons to the quiet poetry of ocean mist, his art distills moments of place into images that feel both immediate and eternal.

Guided by aloha ʻāina — a deep respect for the land — Simpson extends his creative ethos into real‑world action, supporting organizations such as 808 Cleanups, the Coral Reef Alliance, Habitat for Humanity, and Charity: water. These partnerships reflect his belief that art and stewardship are inseparable, and that protecting the environments and communities that inspire his work is as vital as the work itself.

At Sylentstudios, every print is produced with archival quality, preserving the depth, texture, and tonal richness of the original. Whether working in the fluid transparency of watercolor, the bold opacity of acrylic gouache, the layered depth of oil, or the precision of digital brushwork, Simpson’s process is guided by a commitment to creating art that resonates across cultures and generations.
