Driven by love, hate, sin, redemption, and death, Michael Hussar's oil paintings present the viewer with a contextual maturity that is both confrontational and evocative. Hussar describes his work as "a voyeuristic snapshot of perceived humanity, complete with freaks and fakery; a gothic wonderland illuminating the gray area between truths and lies." Painting has become a method for him to work out the vexations of his life. Each piece is a journal of sorts, allowing him to come face to face with his demons and exorcising them with each new stroke of the brush.

Hussar made his mark on Hollywood as the premier poster artist. As his reputation grew so did his disdain for the entertainment industry, thus tainting his notions of art commerce. He left the industry and began teaching portraiture at the Pasadena Art Center. His influences range from Jan Van Eyck, Bosch, Norman Rockwell, John Singer Sargent, and pinup art.

Hussar's paintings grace the homes of such Hollywood luminaries as Warren Beatty, Francis Ford Coppola, and Leonardo DiCaprio. He also has the distinct honor of exhibiting his work in the library of Congress in Washington D.C.
