Fort Lauderdale Artist Michael Edwards Debuts Bold New Collection with Lingua Fine Art

Acclaimed South Florida artist Michael Edwards, also known as LINGUA, is making headlines in the contemporary art world with his bold, emotionally resonant works through his brand, Lingua Fine Art. Known for his expressive style and vibrant vision, Edwards is building momentum both locally and internationally, with upcoming shows and a feature in Art Market Magazine this spring.

Lingua is a fine pen-and-ink artist making waves with his unique approach to portraiture. The magic is in the details. Every line in his artwork is part of a bigger picture, transforming a series of lines and shapes into a stunning, cohesive portrait that invites viewers to examine every facet. Each piece he creates is a testament to his meticulous skill and precision. The artist launched his brand Lingua Fine Art at Spectrum Art Fair this past December 2024 during Miami Art Week with a sold-out showcase, setting the stage for 2025 with an incredible line-up of events and exhibitions, leading up to this year’s Art Basel Miami Beach exhibition the artist is planning.

Lingua’s unique approach invites viewers to explore every inch of his artwork, discovering new layers and nuances within the composition. The beauty is in the details, each piece he creates is a testament to his meticulous skill, with intricate precision, forming large-scale portraits. Every line and shape in his work contributes to a stunning, cohesive whole, transforming a series of fine, abstract strokes into expressive, compelling faces and human figures. Distinctive and innovative, Lingua’s pieces attract art enthusiasts and collectors worldwide, establishing him as a fresh and promising voice in today’s art scene.
