Biography

K_Van (1968) uses visual arts to take you intimately close to his world of visions resulting from a search beyond the recognisable elements of the world as we know it.
By the age of sixteen he had lived on three different continents, ping-ponged seven times between languages and was averaging a new school once a year. These frequent changes in different environments and cultures resulted in a visual collection of images and feelings that inspire K_Van in his artistic work. In 1987 he started taking art classes in the Hague the Netherlands, followed by de Vrije Academie for plastic arts and in 2000 was awarded a scholarship for the Burren College of Art in Ireland. In 2012 K_Van was invited to join the International Art Biennale of Santorini and the 5th Beijing International Art Biennale,,
