Dominique Janssens - Deau

(Completely new since January 2020! More artworks coming up soon!)

I, DEAU, was born in Brabant, in the south of The Netherlands, in the autumn of 1992. My parents gave me the French name Dominique. But, since many people have shorten it into ‘Do’, in French written as Deau, I decided to use that as my signature. After years of drawing, painting and discovering, I was accepted at the highly recommended St. Joost Acadamy of Arts in Breda. But, I rather consider myself as a self-taught artist.

As a -mostly- wildlife and horse artist, I have a full focus on the animal kingdom. My figurative art style is bold and realistic with a highly focus on the natural colours and features of a specific breed or specie. That, because I want you to show you all the beautiful differences between animals: those characteristics that makes an animal or breed just that special. To emphasize what makes them unique. From classic Europe to the wildlife of Africa and Asia to the oriental world of India and the Middle East: those differences that makes our world colourful. Instead of thinking ‘what is better’, I appreciate this magnificent diversity.

Most of my artworks are inspired by vintage artists like Alfred Munnings and George Stubbs, naturali...
