Alphons Van Mil was born on the Isle of Texel, in the Netherlands, to a scholarly and artistic family. For most of the last 50 years, Al Van Mil has created visual artworks using a large variety of mediums, including acrylic or oil paint on large canvases. His works range from landscapes and portraits as abstracted expressions, to eclectic hybrids as conceptually appealing ideas.

Van Mil was at first inspired by the conceptual Canadian artists couple of Joyce Wieland and Michael Snow.
He consequently received mentoring from Conceptual Artist Eric Cameron while studying Fine Art at the University of Guelph. Creating art full time since he graduated, Van Mil’s work has been exhibited in private and public galleries, including the Musee Des Beaux-Arts in Montreal, The National Gallery of Canada, and the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Van Mil was commissioned to paint the portraits of the two MVP winners by the Toronto Blue Jays for the two years when
they won their two consecutive baseball playoff titles. He also illustrated the CLA Book of the Year Award winning title,
‘The Tiny Kite of Eddy Wing,’ a children’s book written by Maxine Trottier.
