Arthur Jansen
"I don't paint, I am"
Little is known about Arthur Jansen because his paintings tell us more about him than any biography.
Arthur doesn't paint stories.
He paints inner states.
Not to explain them, but to give them a quiet space.
His works are created slowly.
Some accompany him for months before receiving their final brushstroke.
Others remain unfinished or never leave the studio.
Every image arises from the same question:
What truth remains when everything external becomes silent?
Perhaps that is precisely where the beginning of what we remember lies.
Everything else is up to the viewer.
