Artist Profile

Jan Wisse’s paintings combine a strong evocative content of imaginative worlds, mastering composition and painterly exploration.

The paintings Blossom Lips II and Blossom Lips III observe the relationship of nature and mankind. In the paintings parts of the blossom image seem to be scratched away. Inside the scratched lines a human face is visible.

This refers to humans sometimes being careless towards nature in trying to put themselves on the foreground at the cost of the beautiful and fragile nature. The works are a call to humanity, to be aware of this delicate relationship.
