Jan Goris

I'm a Belgian artist for more than 30 years.
My sensitivity drew me to make paintings with oil only, because of its transparency and richness in expressing emotions. That's also why I make huge stained glass windows, to let light enter our homes and churches and hearts.
As an artist, I feel I have to promote optimistic and positive art.
Bring beauty, truth, solidarity and peace on this planet has always been my aim, and art is a good means to do it.
Stained glass windows in churches and private houses should help to find light and peace. Paintings at home should be a fountain of happiness accompanying the owner along the years.
Life is looking for love, fighting for it, to make it come through.
