Michel Huelin was born in Switzerland in 1962. He has devoted an important part of his work to landscape and biodiversity issues, using diverse techniques like painting, digital, and video work, beginning in 1991. Huelin was one of the early pioneers of digital art in the 80s.

His paintings question virtuality and the place of the spectator. Huelin prints on limited plates of plexiglass, heightening the rarity and further dematerializing the surface. His work presents an object in the landscape with paintings, combining kinetic, and figurative art. The subjects come from artificial landscapes and the everyday environment, including the intimacy of beds, sofas, and other places of rest. These images are all initially computer-designed before being used as models for paintings.
The questions of scale, relation to the space, or the spectator’s
Gaze are summoned in his work, send the viewer back to something corporeal. 

Huelin has worked on a series of digital prints that introduce disturbances, noises, and parasites into the visualization of the landscape.  He questions the utilitarian relationship that we
maintain more and more with a digitized and altered nature, an opposition to the traditional contemplation of the landscape. Featuring a virtual biotope made up of hybrid objects, lush
vegetation, and organic roots at the border between plants, animals, and humans. 

Additionally he works with video animation in 360º virtual reality, which offers the viewer an immersive experience in a landscape that is both architectural and a personal universe.
