Biography of Jan Groenhart
A short overview of the artist Jan GroenhartI was born in 1952 and spent my childhood mostly in the special landscape of Wormer and Jisperveld.
The space, the light and the water that I have experienced there, was and still is of big influence on my work. At a young age I was fascinated and challenged to paint.
I love freedom but I didn't found that at school. At the Rietveld Academy I learnt the craft that I love so much. With everything that I learnt and experienced I developed myself in what I love to do most.
Every day I still find new challenges and possibilities to express myself.
I paint landscapes and still lifes which I admire in artists like Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) and Kees Verwey (1900-1995). I experimented with different materials and styles.
My studio is located in a warehouse between old factories in Wormer.
