Wim Bals

Thank you for stopping by, I would like to tell you a little more about myself.
I live and work as a professional artist in Stekene Belgium.
As a painter I once started to paint still lifes, but soon I wanted to give the paintings more humor and a story.

Humor is always present in my paintings. Of course that has to do with the fact that I can't live without humor, just imagine ...

I like to take the viewer on a journey to my possible and impossible world.
Animals always play the leading role in this journey.
The paintings often dare to be cheerful, hilarious and 'out of the box'.
You have been warned!

Most of the paintings that I make leave Belgium and move to foreign art collections.
