He says on this "...feelings are timeless".

In 1993 Twan de Vos graduated from the University of Arts in Arnhem. Since then he works as a professional illustrative artist. He paints, sculpts, makes linoleum cuttings, and silkscreen prints, and works in commission. Next to all of this, he takes part in a number of art projects, for example, he is co-publisher of the Arts Agenda, www.kunstagenda.com, and he was co-organizer of the Wageningen Cultural Circuit.,
