Look beneath the surface to find the deeper meaning. In my new artworks I will be exploring the hidden depths in everyday life.

Living in New York City as a model, artist, with a roof over my head, and food on my table is a dream come true. Even on the hardest of days there is something to be grateful for. Don’t let your worries spoil the blessing you have today.

Don’t give up. You’re living the life you used to pray for. Once you give up the dream ends.

In today’s ever-evolving artistic landscape, a multidisciplinary artist is a pioneer, navigating the unknown interfaces where different forms of art converge and interact.

[Michael Cota @Michael_cota4]

I don’t think Ai will replace artist but artists who know how to integrate Ai into thier workflow will surpass those artists who don’t.

I love learning new skills and finding ways to improve myself. Right now I’m teaching myself digital world building, Art Marketing with Ai, and VR/AR experiences.

Just launched my first NYC painting workshop, The Creative Canvas, at Verci. It was an amazing experience to guide students in abstract expressionism. My next painting collection explores the merging of the digital and physical realities.

[Michael Cota @Michael_cota4]

I quit my job at Google to become an artist. The journey is tough but rewarding. Walking this path with friends is what makes everything worth it.

@vercinyc As a member of verci I can say that the relationships and experiences have been life changing for my career. I highly recommend for anyone interested to apply. It’s the place for people who want to learn, work, grow, and play🥳
