About the Artist
Wyland (Robert Wyland) is one of the most internationally recognized marine-life artists of the modern era. Born in Detroit in 1956, he gained global attention with the launch of his “Whaling Walls” project — a series of more than 100 monumental ocean murals painted on public buildings across the world, completed over three decades and dedicated to public awareness of marine conservation.
His studio practice spans painting, bronze sculpture, photography, and printmaking, all centered on the life of the world's oceans. Whales, dolphins, sharks, and reef ecosystems appear in vibrant, luminous works whose technical mastery and emotional warmth have made Wyland one of the most collected wildlife artists alive.
Beyond the studio, Wyland founded the Wyland Foundation, which supports children's environmental education and global ocean preservation initiatives. His work is held in private collections, public spaces, museums, and aquariums around the world, and he has been recognized by the United Nations, the Sierra Club, and numerous environmental and arts organizations.
