Pinole Artisans Presents our next Art Salon featuring Michael Sacramento - August 14, 2026

Michael's Bio:

Michael Sacramento learned how to draw from his father who operated and designed for his family's shoe business in Manila, Philippines. Their artistic bond forged and continues to fuel Michael's interest for creativity. After studying painting and drawing at California State University, Northridge and San Francisco State University, Michael began his professional fine art career in 2003 with a sold out show in his first gallery exhibition.

Shortly after his professional art debut, Michael received awards to further his studies at California College of the Arts and Taking the Leap, a business school for artists. He continued his artistic journey through features in various media and numerous exhibitions. His resume includes solo exhibitions in the U.S. national historic landmark International Hotel in San Francisco as well as the Oakland Asian Cultural Center. Currently, Michael is represented by galleries in California and New York. He regularly exhibits in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and New York.

The themes in Michael Sacramento's work are based on the idea of memory and emotional connections. Each subject is tied to a particular experience - whether real or imagined. Michael's aesthetic style is influenced by traditional, pop, illustration and contemporary design. The resulting body of work forms the unique representation of his artistic perception.
