Tim Nijenhuis

I am a professional mural painter from Hamilton Ontario, Canada. Over the past 25 years I have created over 100 murals, many of them are large scale public works of art. I pride myself in being able to create works of art, and successfully respond to clients’ visions and requests. A great source of inspiration is to listen to the local community, do historic research and investigate the surrounding landscape, architecture, and culture. My works tend to enhance the surrounding neighborhoods and bringing people together from all walks of life, social, or ethnic backgrounds. My pieces provoke thought and energy, but I always intend for these to have a positive and constructive vibe. I am inspired by, and work with Trompe l’Oeill, surrealism and 3-dimensional illusion styles.   I have over two decades of experience painting large scale exterior murals, directly onto the buildings. My application techniques include gravity feed spray guns, paint-rollers, and brushes.  I have gained the skills and knowledge to properly prepare exterior surfaces, I use top quality water-based/acrylic/latex materials, and provide protective coating to ensure proper adhesion of the paint and longevity of vibrance and quality.
