Mia van Wyk
"I am inspired by the full scale of life; from tiny bacteria to processes that span the planet. Through painting, I explore the complex connections between species, and question our role as humans in this beautiful and abundant eco-system. I am currently examining our impact on nature and through realistic painting techniques celebrate the beauty and intricacies of animals, insects, birds and other natural objects."
