O.I.L. Beach
Michael Biagiotti is a Long Beach based self-taught artist originally from Long Island, NY, who moved to Southern California as a child and has lived in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. Through the use of
bright colors and bold abstract shapes created with a combination of oil and
acrylic paints, watercolor and ink, colored pencil, photography, and illustration,
he captures the energy, diversity and spirit of our community. He considers
his work “California Outsider Art”.
His brand, O.I.L. Beach, stands for “Only in Long Beach”. It continues the feel of his art with merchandise conveying the street/beach/car culture that is part of the Long Beach/Southern California lifestyle.
