Nato a Bibbiena (Ar) nel 1979, dopo il diploma all’Istituto d’Arte di Firenze, si laurea all’Accademia di Belle Arti nella sezione di Pittura e Fotografia del Maestro Gustavo Giulietti. Ha vissuto per un periodo negli Stati Uniti prima in California e poi a New York, attualmente vive e lavora in Toscana e dal 2006 collabora con una fondazione newyorchese per l’arte. Le opere di Michelangelo Bastiani sono video installazioni su grandi schermi o video proiezioni interattive, incentrate in particolare sul tema dell’acqua. La sua ricerca artistica è basata sull’interazione diretta tra osservatore e opera. Ha esposto in Musei e Gallerie d’arte sia in Europa che negli Stati Uniti.
