The Nautilus shell. (2012) Painting by Jos Kivits

Jos Kivits is a contemporary painter based in Australia. Kivits paints outstanding Neo-Classical Romantic landscapes and rich still life’s in the style of Dutch and Flemish masters from the 16th and 17th century.

His artistic expression is shown through realistic still-lifes, florals, and seascapes, all of which are inspired by the old masters. Kivits makes his own oils, which go together with his multi-layer technique, creating the sense of depth and a 'trompe l'oeil' look.

Jos Kivits was born in 1945, in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. His works are in public and private collections in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, North and South America, the United Kingdom, Europe and South Africa.
