MICHELLE MARKUSE

Based in Sydney, Michelle Markuse is a contemporary artist known for evocative abstract landscape paintings inspired by water and the natural elements. Working primarily with thick, textured paint, her practice explores the fluidity, depth, and ever-changing character of the natural world.

​

Each painting is a sensory exploration - layered, tactile, and emotionally charged. Drawing inspiration from coastal forms, ocean currents, rain-soaked skies, and earthbound textures, Michelle creates works that blur the line between abstraction and landscape.

 

Rather than depict a specific place, her art captures the essence and movement of nature itself.  With a focus on process and materiality , Michelle invites viewers to slow
down, engage with the surface, and feel a connection to the elemental forces that shape our environment.
