Dr. Michael Durst is an exciting South African artist. As a psychologist, Dr. Durst's paintings create not only beauty for the beholder, but also a state of relaxation and healing. His work combines realism with impressionism, evoking an emotional link to the heart-thus the name: "Heartscapes."
Dr. Durst loves to paint the beauty of Cape Town- the Waterfront, Table Mountain, seascapes, spring flowers, the vineyards, and of course, the people of the Cape.
He has also gained international recognition as a Fractal Artist. He uses fractals, created from complex mathematical formulas, to explore the interplay of form, energy and light. Dr. Durst then combines texture, pattern and color to change and to reset the clockwork of our inner being to the most beneficial health inducing rhythm. \/\/hen reset and unburdened from anxiety and social pressure, one's being enters a calm field where new patterns of behavior can develop and take hold within.
