Biography
Jan-Willem Vandenberghe,
Graduated with Honor as Master Fine Arts - Painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK), Ghent, Belgium
Currently living and working in Ghent, Belgium. Spent 6 months abroad at Plymouth University UK during my Erasmus program.
As a painter I want to explore the destruction and reconstruction of human behavior and identity – my process as a path to re-consider the conventions of figurative painting through a continued pursuit toward abstraction. The goal is to create paintings with a deeper sense of engagement, with matters beyond what is visible, as a mental mirror, questioning the nature of painting itself and the identity as something deconstructed, created, and tangible.
As a wandering soul, not lost but searching, deeply, facing my own reality. Using my own work as a mirror for myself and a question mark for those who lay their eyes on it.
