J De K

I live and work in the Randstad as well in the centre of the Netherlands and studied graphic design at the Willem de Kooning Academy of Arts in Rotterdam.

I usually work as an autonomous artist, but I am also open to work on commission and collaborations.

In my autonomous work I mostly work from my personal emotions and experiences.  I try to express concepts like Estrangement, loneliness, desolation and mystery. These are, to a greater or lesser extent,  recognizable for all human beings. By striving towards mutual recognition through my work I hope to offer and find solace and understanding. In my photo work, printing my own work on fine art paper is an important part of the process.

Since 2014 I am associated with 'Stroom', a centre for art and architecture in The Hague.
In 2015 I became a member of the artist societies 'Pulchri' and 'De Haagse Kunstkring', also based in The Hague. 

Works are exhibited in Dutch musea and galleries and in several countries: Italie (Vicenza), England (London), France (Excedeuil), Portugal (Lissabon), Tiradentes (Brazil). In 2023 I participated at the Architecture Biennale in Venice. Award-winning and included in both private and corporate collections

Studio visits are possible by appointment....
