Willem Fekken also travelled to Paris, the South of France and the South of Germany, where he painted and made many watercolours.
Willem Fekken has developed into an exceptionally gifted painter and watercolorist after attending the Art Academy in Amsterdam. His paintings are painted in an impressionistic style and in a particularly beautiful color scheme. His flower still lifes are very decorative and playful, with a visible skill in painting many different types of flowers and plants. Much of Willem Fekken's work was sold through Galerie Koch in Amsterdam, while he also participated in exhibitions at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Willem Fekken was a member of the association for Visual Arts "Hilversum" and of "St. Lucas" in Amsterdam.
