Michaell Magrutsche: Embracing Neurodiversity and Creativity in Art
When I create, I can tell you everything about every function of art that I know. I always explain the process of canvas, the white canvas, and they say how you are, because you don't do landscapes or whatever. And then all of a sudden, and then there comes the pivot point, and when you experience that often enough, you get the feeling, inherent feeling of connectiveness and belonging and tribe, because it pivots the painting, the music or whatever takes over.
Imagine a world where being different is celebrated, not shunned. In this episode of 'Emerge. Evolve. Lead.', host Maureen Ross Gemme chats with Michaell Magrutsche, an Austrian/Californian multidisciplinary artist, speaker, and educator. Michaell opens up about his journey as a neurodiverse individual navigating life with dyslexia and dysgraphia. He’s not an addict or alcoholic, but his story offers a fresh perspective on overcoming societal limitations through creativity.
Michaell discusses how art has been his lifeline, helping him break free from the constraints of traditional systems and discover his boundless human potential. He passionately talks about the difference between thinking with your head and feeling with your heart, and how the divine flow of creativity can foster a sense of connection and belonging.
