Tim Alblas
b. 1989, Burlington  |  Lives and works in St.Catharines, Canada

Tim Alblas is a Canadian multidisciplinary painter recognized for his expressive realism and evocative abstract still lifes. His work combines gestural brushwork with curious explorations of light, colour and texture, and subject matter often layered with deeper meaning and symbolism. His recent series reflecting on rural Ontario landscapes speak to a shared Canadian nostalgia, appealing to collectors who value realism and painterly execution and that are drawn to a more sentimental and contemplative tone of work.

Working primarily in acrylics, Alblas is currently focused on themes of rural decay, depicting old barns and farmhouses in various states of disrepair. His style balances architectural precision with expressive brushwork and atmospheric settings. Rich earth tones and vibrant underpainting contribute to a sense of impermanence, solitude, and quiet mystery.

With nearly two decades of painting experience, Tim continues to evolve his practice by remaining grounded in process and experimentation that unfold from piece to piece. He has exhibited in group shows across Hamilton and the Niagara Region, sharing his work with a broad and engaged audience. As an emerging artist, he is committed to deepening his visual voice while exploring new directions in subject, form, and technique.
