Joost Verhagen

Joost Verhagen (1975) was continually drawing from a very young age. This was no surprise with art teachers and designers in the family who encouraged him. His grandparents lived in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. The large harbour impressed the young boy – the skyline, ships, refineries and terminals. On A3-sheets of paper, with pencil, he drew cityscapes and skylines of large, fictitious metropoles. Art school in Rotterdam was the obvious next step, but the course was not really what he was hoping for and a career in real estate followed.

A yearning remained. After backpacking in Australia in earlier life Joost Verhagen decided to emigrate there and work for several years as a labourer in infrastructure in the Outback. The rough landscapes stayed with him when he returned to Europe. Once again, he picked up pencil and paper. Also brushes. He studied classic painting at the art academy of Antwerp (Belgium) and graduated in 2019. Joost Verhagen is now a full-time painter, based in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and his modern landscapes are sold worldwide. His art has been exhibited in The Netherlands, Belgium and India. He was chosen ‘Artist of the Month’ by Online Gallery in April 2021.
