Aloha - Welcome to the Studio

E komo mai, welcome to Sylentstudios. I’m Michael Simpson, a Hawai‘i‑based fine artist creating cinematic digital paintings, luminous watercolors, richly textured oils, and vibrant acrylic gouache works.

Here, art is more than an image; it’s an invitation. Each piece is rooted in aloha ʻāina, a deep respect for the land, and shaped by the stories, colors, and light of the islands. Whether you’re here to explore, collect, or simply be inspired, I’m glad you’ve found your way to my studio.

Take your time, wander through the galleries, and enjoy the journey.

Aloha ‘Āina means “love of the land.” A deep respect, understanding, and connection to the place we call home. For me, it’s not just a phrase, it’s a way of living. Every brushstroke is shaped by the colors, textures, and stories of Hawai‘i, carrying forward the spirit of the land into each piece I create.

Art That Endures

Every piece I create is meant to last — not just for years, but for generations. That’s why I’m meticulous about the materials I choose:

• Archival Sunset Reserve Canvas — exceeds Fine Art Trade Guild standards for pH and lightfastness, and is made without optical brightening agents that can cause fading over time.

• Pigmented Vivera Ink — engineered for exceptional color stability, resisting fading for more than 200 years.

• Premier Art Eco Print Shield — a giclée coating that adds UV protection and abrasion resistance, preserving both vibrancy and detail.

With proper care, your artwork will remain as vivid and true as the day it was created; a lasting heirloom without the need for restoration.

From the Studio

Step inside my creative process. In From the Studio, I share the stories behind my paintings. From the first spark of an idea to the final brushstroke. You’ll find time‑lapse sequences, progress shots, and insights into the techniques and choices that bring each piece to life.
