Artist OverviewFine Art, sound design, INdependent FIlm, both classical, contemporary and tech Design.
Originally, all of the visual work on this site and Skymachine were developed as portfolio pieces to demonstrate techniical mastery and character design development. Exceptions are included, where I entered more into a professional fine artist role. While trained as a contemporary artist, and exhibited at film festivals and galleries, its original intention was to show a wide variety of concepts and style for a Concept Art Portfolio.
INDEPENDENT consciousness
While studying Art and Technology over a period of over two decades, Mitch Greer investigated the combination of early forms of painting and sound from the Rennaisance to early Surrealism adjacent and sometimes combined with technology. In this collection, presented at Arc 1 Gallery, a series of works examines craft and art techniques from Rennaisance, Surrealism, Concept Art, Hand Painted Natural Scenes, and Hand Sculpted Digital Works at a time where physical craft is being lost. As many schools for contemporary art close in California, the series represents both elegy and celebration of a world passing in an uncertain time in the world, where the lost forms still make their presence in the ongoing eternity of the soul of art which passes through study and the struggle of all artists to preserve art in a changing world, where human craft faces real risks of passing away.

Esomnia
Esomnia was a two-day pop-up exhibition held in San Francisco from October 4–5, 2024, in a light-filled venue adjacent to the Cable Car Museum. The show featured immersive visual works accompanied by meditative ambient sound, creating a contemplative environment that emphasized sensory experience. While the installation was designed to be encountered in person, this record serves as a documentation of those ephemeral afternoons in early October.

Streams of the light
Our ongoing landscape scenes from our retreat near the Forests of Marin. Impressionist but abstract, all analog works on canvas. Rigorous academic focus, so passionately made that the forms are just as much a record of emotional and physical motion as well as invented, surreal forms. To be exhibited on 2027 at Arc 1 Gallery in Nevada City, Califonia.

COncept Art
Mitch Greer’s concept art practice centers on atmospheric storytelling, world-building, and emotionally resonant design across science fiction, fantasy, and surrealist genres. With a foundation in traditional painting and a background in critical theory, his work integrates classical sensibilities with forward-looking visual narratives. Each project reflects a commitment to depth, clarity, and mood—inviting viewers into richly imagined spaces that support animation, games, and film.
