A versatile artist in heart and soul, that is Willem Janssen. In addition to paintings, this artist also makes three-dimensional work. He often uses wood and other natural materials to give shape to his inspirations.
Heads are not new to Willem Janssen. Originally he carved characteristic heads of fellow villagers. One day he carved a boat with a house on it. It was the ark, symbol of the journey he had to make. He was suddenly the image of himself. The journey went along various places. Carving heads gained momentum. A large mountain of waste wood appeared in front of his studio. Now it is no longer about characteristic portraits, but about universal heads, about the shape that is painted. An artist in a new creative phase, who raises expectations for the future.
