Reinis Zusters

Reinis Zusters is an Australian artist of Latvian descent who lived and worked in Australia.

He painted many striking large landscapes of Australia, conveying the rich nature and colors of that country. He was particularly inspired by the Blue Mountains, to which he dedicated triptychs.

For Australia's bicentennial in 1988, Zusters completed his major work, a series of large-scale epic panels entitled The Birth of a Nation.

His works are represented in numerous public and private collections in Australia and abroad.
