Jan Peter van Opheusden was born on March 12, 1941 in Eindhoven, where he still lives and works.
He will study at the now internationally renowned Academy of Industrial Design in Eindhoven (now the Design Academy).
In addition to painting, Jan Peter teaches for years as a teacher of fine arts and crafts, after which he establishes himself as a free artist. He embraces a wide range of disciplines such as painting, sculpting and various graphic techniques. He constantly undertakes study trips to countries within Europe, but also beyond. After his mega exhibition in 1998 under the roof of the Grande Arche in Paris, Jan Peter's work is increasingly appreciated, also in a wider circle. His work can now be found worldwide in large collections of mainly private collectors.
'Painting is my passion and my work should radiate warmth, nothing else'.
Jan Peter sculpts, screen prints and paints. Jan Peter paints quickly, not only with the brush but also with his hands. He considers the canvas his palette and prefers to work with acrylic, nice and quick. Swift as life. Mixed techniques, with chalk as a basis for the right effect. On canvas, panel or paper; people, nature, everyday things, movement, dancers, theater or sports and sometimes, as an extensive finger exercise, a child's portrait. “I want to transfer feelings.
I don't paint pretty things and experience shows that people buy my work because it radiates warmth. I experience painting as my passion”.
