jan willem van welzenis, oudewater, THE NETHERLANDS, 1981. lives and works in dordrecht, the netherlands.


Welzenis is founder of barbara, and co-founder of artists collective Abstracte.


artists website: www.welzenis.com


His artworks continue in the tradition of Abstract Expressionism, the American art movement of the 1950’s.His emotional state of mind, rather than tangible reality, is his point of departure.


At first, Welzenis only made works on paper; compositions with just some confidently placed, accurate lines, often in black chalk and sometimes in colour. Colour became more important as paint was added. Since 2013 he predominantly works with oil paint on canvas.
