Ad Merx is a versatile visual artist. Painting, watercoloring, and drawing, but also etching, sculpting, and making medals, are part of his working life. Whether he paints or draws still lifes, landscapes, or portraits, or sculpts human figures, his surroundings always play a decisive role. After secondary school (HBS A), he studied at the Royal Academy of Art and Design in 's-Hertogenbosch and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. In 1969, he returned to Nijmegen. In 1970, he married Marion van Oudvorst. From 1969 to 1975, he was a drawing and crafts teacher at the Canisius College in Nijmegen. In 1975, he started the Lossertpoirt gallery on the Waalkade in Nijmegen. In 1979, he moved with his family, gallery, and studio to Sterreschansweg 22 in Nijmegen. The gallery continued there under the name 'de Tweeling'. In 1989, Marion and Ad Merx settled in Weurt with their family, studio, and gallery, and started a sculpture garden there. In 1991, Ad Merx began sculpting. Every year, Ad Merx makes study trips abroad to places such as France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Cambodia, and Japan.
