Michael Agwu is a multidisciplinary contemporary artist whose practice centers on large scale mosaic portraits created from reclaimed electronic waste. His work explores themes of rebirth, resilience, and transformation reframing discarded materials into powerful, enduring forms.
Michael’s mosaics often depict strong figures, using reconstruction to challenge conventional ideas of value and permanence, . The works carry a quiet intensity, where broken elements are reorganized into unified, human presence.
Alongside his mosaic practice, Michael is also a pencil artist. His drawing informs the structure, balance, and emotional clarity of his mosaic work, grounding his material experimentation in traditional portraiture and figurative drawings.
