Kevin
Micheli

Originally from Austria, Kevin Micheli embarked on his extraordinary career at an early age, performing on the grand stages of international fine dining. His journey led him to some of the world’s most renowned restaurants, including Hangar-7, Geranium, Bareiss, and Einstein Gourmet. Along the way, he earned numerous accolades — from Gault Millau’s “Newcomer of the Year” to outstanding achievements in prestigious international competitions such as the Bocuse d’Or, ultimately culminating in a World Champion title.

Beyond his exceptional culinary expertise, Micheli quickly became known for his distinctive personality and refined approach. He went on to cook exclusively for a select clientele of high-profile individuals including international celebrities, business leaders, and cultural figures — establishing himself as a private chef and caterer in the absolute premium segment.

Parallel to his culinary rise, a second passion emerged: the world of art. What began as a private painting practice soon evolved into a sophisticated advisory role, fueled by Micheli’s keen eye for quality and his reputation for discretion. Today, he acts as a vital bridge between artists and collectors, managing high-profile works by icons such as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Gerhard Richter. Micheli is particularly dedicated to nurturing the next generation of creators — most notably the San Diego prodigy Andres Valencia — by granting them exclusive access to the global stage. This influence is further cemented by his close, ongoing collaboration with the prestigious auction house Phillips.
