Alex DiMercurio is a Wellington-based artist known for her immersive vivid

treescapes and textural abstract cloud and seascapes. She creates deeply captivating

works that explore the interplay of light, movement, and emotion. Through a mix of bold

impasto and fluid brushwork, her paintings invite viewers to engage in a contemplative experience, evoking nostalgia, serenity, and a profound connection to nature.

Renowned for her award-winning treescapes, DiMercurio captures the essence of

nature’s interconnectedness with a unique colour palette and dynamic contrasts of

light and shadow.

Her recent focus on abstract cloud and seascapes continues this

exploration, drawing attention to the emotional resonance of refracted light and

shifting hues. Using a variety of palette knives, she sculpts structure from seemingly

unformed shapes, bringing definition and depth. Each stroke is deliberate and a carefully

chosen shape in a specific colour, placed with intention to harmonise within the overall composition.

Collectors say that these works appear to levitate off the walls, offering ever-changing perspectives both up close and from a distance.

Through her artwork, DiMercurio aims to inspire new perspectives and a deeper appreciation for the fleeting beauty of the natural world. From capturing that ephemeral sunrise or sunset with filtered light through dramatic clouds, to capturing a moment of pure joy of wandering

through untouched native forests, that calls to be forever etched in our minds.

Her work is a visual dialogue between time and place, encouraging viewers to

pause, reflect, and reconnect with their surroundings, to realise our place and

purpose in the world. Albeit from a unique perspective.
