MIKHAIL GOLDENBERG

STOIC IN MOTION

1980-1991

symbiotic binary

Mikhail Goldenberg was born in the former Soviet Union on the border of Europe and Asia; as an adolescent, he was inspired by the contrasting views of each continent. Europe’s fine art influenced a refined style and unleashed creativity, while Asia contributed to a mathematical precision in his work. This unified polarity allowed Mikhail to comfortably perceive and work with complex dynamic systems.

1992-2001

CHAOS/CONTROL

The Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s, exposing Mikhail to societal chaos and corruption. Mafia and government forces combined. Car bombings, public knifings, and random homicides were daily occurrences. Embedded into his subconscious, these experiences formed his dark, surreal style. To survive, he had to learn how to recognize patterns in chaotic structures and thrive on uncertainty. In search of scientific discipline dedicated to quantifying chaos in social relations, Mikhail graduated from the university, majoring in economics, and worked in corporate management, rapidly rising through the ranks.

2002-2009

CORPORATE/CREATIVE

In the early 2000s, Mikhail and his family immigrated to the United States, where they settled in Los Angeles. Once immersed in L.A.’s culture, Mikhail developed a strong connection to conceptual art, journalism, and music. These newfound passions jumpstarted his desire to shift his focus from economics temporarily to streamline a career in the creative field.

Today, Mikhail is an interdisciplinary artist who is often found photographing advertising campaigns and editorial.

In 2020 Mikhail diversified into cinematography, forming Interlinked Films to serve as a production vehicle for his cinematic assignments.

Mikhail's other passion is music: Mikhail is a composer, lyricist, and the lead vocalist of the band Void in the Mirror.

Mikhail’s long-term goal is to fuse his search for innovation, deep knowledge of global economics, and lifelong interest in science and technology. He is a founder of multiple tech ventures set to launch in 2027. By building systems with the same fearless curiosity that drives his art, he will continue to create the future in both informational and physical ways.
