Adele Merdjanic

Adele Merdjanic is an Australian oil painter best recognised for her vibrant brushwork that brings a dynamic energy to her compositions. Her artistic journey began at a young age, evolving through studies at TAFE and culminating in advanced training at the National Art School in Sydney, where she completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Painting. 

Adele was the winner of Best in Entire Exhibition at the 2024 Newcastle Maritime Art Prize and several of her pieces have been selected as semi-finalists in various exhibitions across Newcastle and the Hunter with works held in private collections throughout the region. Her practice spans both landscape and figuration, distinguished by broad, structural brushstrokes that simplify details and complex scenes into evocative, impressionistic compositions with a dreamlike quality.

Whether working in studio or en plein air, Adele draws inspiration from a deep connection to landscape, people, and place, capturing fleeting moments that convey the essence of the world around her
