Henry Von Genk, III, was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida where he resides. His artisitic abilities became apparent as early as the age of 2 years. Henry’s mother, Geraldine, recognized this and inspired her son to keep developing himself. Therefore, at the age of 40, Henry has been a self-taught artist mastering not only a realistic style but also his own techniques in shadowing and realism.
After a long and successful career executing murals for museums and clients around the world, Henry focuses on his life long destiny of fine art.
His love for the tropics and the ocean shines through his work, which centers on the beauty and nature of our earth. From the jungles of Costa Rica, to the salt marshes of Florida, and the Caribbean Sea, his work can be “felt” due to his “real as life” paintings, which captures your soul. His use of glazing and shadowing techniques bring richness and depth that captures life’s subtle nuances and brings his paintings to life.
Henry resides in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
