WILLEM VOS

Art maker | Soul shaker | Rule breaker | Risk taker

Born in the Dutch countryside, Willem Vos paints what can't be said - emotion, instinct, inner movement.
His studio in Dwingeloo is both retreat and ignition point; it’s where stories burn, marks are made and bold memories return to the surface.


From rural tranquillity to international exhibitions, Vos' journey is proof: Sometimes you have to start over to create something that lasts.

Not loud. But burning.
Every painting strips back a layer —
shedding noise, patterns and what's no longer needed.
What's left is fire: warming, blinding, comforting,
sometimes passionate. Sometimes smoldering.

That’s why he says: Art should burn a little.
