• Michael Smiroldo was born in New Orleans, not far from the French Quarter and Bourbon Street, the birthplace of jazz. He became interested in art at an early age, especially the works of those who veered from classical technique. 
• The impressionists - Van Gogh, Gaguin, Lautrec, etc. - the light worshipers, those who would seek out a deeper knowledge of its essence and improvise with pigment, the light plays, their values and intensity manipulations, were a great influence on Smiroldo. His goal became to reproduce the illusions that light creates, just as the jazzman veers from classical technique and improvises with tone and value changes to create their illusions that we call jazz.
• It was through his viewing of these musicians playing their songs that he realized that they and the things around them exist to the eye only because of the various light sources that create them. It is these illusions that he tries to recreate with his paintings.
