Tertius van Dyk Art

South African, b. 1974
Tertius is a surrealist artist who was born in the Overberg region of the Western Cape, South Africa. Being an avid lover of trees, rocks, rust and everything earthy, his trademarks are his take on trees and the moon, often in a desert-like setting. He also draws from the ocean, depicting whales from his home town Hermanus, as well as sharks and shipwrecks. Tertius’s love of art has been lifelong, but he started his career as professional artist only later in life when it became clear that what he was producing was not only greatly valued but also in high demand. Tertius uses mixed medium in his art but works mostly in acrylic on large canvas format. Drawing from the beauty of the African landscape, his imagination puts outwardly mismatched concepts together to create surrealistic, juxtaposed dreamscapes with fine detail and textures. He has exhibited his work all over South Africa and his works are represented in prestigious collections worldwide.
