Geert Jager is a contemporary Dutch painter who developed his artistic skills mainly as an autodidact. With a background in youth care and psychiatry, Geert initially pursued a career as a care provider before retraining as a drama teacher, directing numerous theater performances over the years.
His painting style is investigative and fluid, often navigating between figuration and abstraction. Themes such as light, color, and movement play a central role in his work. For Geert, painting serves as a reaction to the world around him, while also reflecting his inner life, though he avoids being overly anecdotal. His approach is deeply influenced by expressionism, capturing the emotional and subjective experience rather than literal representation.
Geert primarily works with oil paint and acrylic, creating pieces that resonate on both a visual and emotional level. His artworks are housed in private collections across the Netherlands, Germany, France, and New Zealand.
