Ever since childhood Jos has always been doodling, paint brushing and drawing. After working for years in international marketing communications, he shifted to being a full-time artist. His remarkable and colorful work has a clear message: โKeep looking as we are living in the fast laneโ. Within this blueprint he created 3 different labels, "Other Stories", "Art of Nosybirds" and "Art of Weathermap". The combination of simplicity and intense bright colors stimulates ones senses. He believes that his art should create a feel good mood. Should give joy and happiness. Unconditionally. โIf you see one of my paintings, it should make you a bit happierโ Actually, it is a crucial part of the story behind my work". For that reason, it is difficult to overlook his work. It contains a good portion of โwall-powerโ. Color is a substantial part of his work. The colors of his paintings are often reflex as Jos likes his paintings to stand out. The combination of bright colors are crucial for his way of working; โBy adapting the reality of an object to my color scheme and style, I emphasize what I see. Often things seem pale and colorless, but they never are, it is hidden.โ
His inspiration. Jos finds inspiration in everything, simply because he is constantly looking out for things. No matter when and where. โEverything you see while paying attention to your whereabouts has a story of its own. Even a simple paving stone or a waste container. Never forget, various people have designed and produced these - for us - common things.โ
The world around us. Nowadays we all live in the fast lane. There is extensive technology everywhere around us. We have to handle increasing globalization and mobility, our climate, nature and wild life is changing rapidly. To keep up with fast life itโs important to take a break every now and then. To actually be aware and see what is really going on, reflect and get new insights and perspectives. This accelerating world immensely fascinates Jos. It became a real eye opener and he wanted to find out how art could fit in this changing world. โBecause everything around us is accelerating and changing, we need inspirational paintings that put things into a different mainly happy perspectiveโ.
