Jan Bollaert

BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1958, living in Antwerp, Belgium Started drawing at the age of 10. Started painting intensely at the age of 30. Became a fulltime professional painter in 1994. Before that I was an accountant (briefly) and a graphic designer. I studied economics, drawing and illustration & graphic design. I painted in acrylics until the beginning of this millenium, but because I felt this gave me to much limitations I switched over to oil paints. Oh, and for those who care, my works have been shown in New York, Miami, Seattle, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Paris, Antwerp and a whole bunch of less known places.
