My name is Merel MAY Tieland. I’m a Dutch fine artist specialized in oil painting. Recently, I moved to the breathtaking Bunurong Land /Mornington Peninsula, where I’m fully dedicated to my art. This transformative move has deeply influenced my artwork, inspired by the stunning natural beauty of Australia. I aim to uncover the unseen - the glimmers of beauty that often go unnoticed or the thought-provoking elements that leave the viewer contemplating. My painting style blends impressionism and realism, often with a loose, expressive touch, though some pieces demand more patience and detail.
