Louis Blondiau is a Belgian painter based in the Netherlands. He studied painting at the Academy of Braine-l’Alleud and attended La Cambre in Brussels as a free student, alongside his academic studies. After fifteen years in London, he settled in the Netherlands in 2020.

His landscapes and seascapes explore our relationship with space, movement and stillness. Working in oil on panel, he scratches through layers of paint to reveal the lighter ground beneath. Hundreds of individual lines come together to suggest water, light and depth. His panoramic works also draw on East Asian landscape traditions, inviting the viewer to experience space from within.

​

Blondiau’s work was selected for the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibitions in London in 2023 and 2024. He became a member of Pulchri Studio in The Hague in 2025. His paintings are held in private collections, and two large works commissioned in 2018 are on permanent display at London County Hall.
