Jan Keteleer is a belgian artist who create photorealistic paintings of landscapes, figures in water, and bodies on tightropes. His paintings use light manipulation to create psychologically charged atmospheres. His subjects are never shown with their faces, but their bodies are always submerged in the water or wrapped in sheets. These are the most powerful and haunting images of this artist.

Unlike his earlier works, this artist uses color to convey a sense of loneliness and isolation. Many of his female subjects appear exposed and free in his paintings, and some even have the appearance of floating. However, it is the depth of their bodies that make the work emotionally challenging. In contrast, the artist's recent works capture a feeling of elation and wonderment.

I love to present works that challenge our perceptions of the world around us. For example, our relationship to advertising visuals and slogans is often a complex one. When we take these artificial concepts, and combine them with an example of humanity that has been stripped down to its core, the results can be quite fascinating. I am a Belgian artist with interests in both classical and contemporary art. I particularly love the opportunity to bring those things together in the most unique ways I can imagine. While you can find examples of holiday pieces, or tranquil scenes of nature or animals, I am particularly fond of pieces that combine classic art elements with modern sensibilities. Through my portfolio, you can find examples...
