About the Seller
Michael van Blerk is a self-taught acrylic and oil painter based in Airlie Beach, Queensland, working in two distinct disciplines — regional landscape and classical figurative painting. Drawn to the dramatic light and colour of the Whitsunday region, Michael's seascape work captures the character of one of Australia's most iconic coastlines with bold colour and painterly confidence. His figurative work operates in a different register entirely — dark, psychologically intense oil paintings in the tradition of the Baroque masters, exploring sacred and theological subjects with unflinching seriousness and emotional weight. Michael exhibits locally and regionally and accepts commissions in both disciplines.
