Artist statement
“Always seeking the path to higher creativity, I love diving into the blank canvas, such great discoveries await us there!”
Artist Bio
Landscapes, astronomy themes and public art are some of the targets of Tim’s work. A native Floridian (born Miami, 1954), his life-long passion to paint the Florida landscape is inspired by the extreme changes in the environment experienced by our generation. Water themes and nocturnes are recurrent in his work. Growing up during the birth of the space age inspired Tim’s passion for astronomy and space art. His primary medium is oil on wood and canvas, applied with brushes and knives, his style is realist to impressionistic, filled with light, color, energy and movement. Malles thrives on the opportunities for spontaneity, creativity and exchange while painting en plein air and within the live public art venue.
Tim Malles was awarded an Artist Membership of the International Association of Astronomical Artists in 2009 and a Signature Membership of Plein Air Florida in 2010.
