Painting A hero by Arens Jan hein | Painting Raw art Life style Acrylic

Jan- Hein grew up in a small town in the Netherlands. From childhood he dreamed of becoming a comic artist. At school, he spent his time drawing and was uninterested in his classes. He joined the School of Graphic Arts in Eindhoven where he discovered design, photography, composition, drawing and the history of art. He evolved in an artistic environment in which he flourished. After graduation, he worked for some time as a freelance graphic designer. Gradually, Jan-Hein felt he could not fully express his creativity through his work. So he began to paint and exhibit. With the growing success of his exhibitions he began to work less and less as a graphic designer in order to devote himself to art. For Jan-Hein, the world is composed of two types of images: real ones and those imagined by man. While artificial representations of all kinds invade everyday life, he tries to achieve the opposite. Alternating a humorous and a sombre tone, he paints ordinary objects in a different or absurd context. JanHein encourages the viewer to reflect on the deeper meaning of these images.
