Je ziet op de voorgrond een lege roeiboot zonder roeispanen, de eigenaar heeft de boot al verlaten en op drift achtergelaten. De zee is verontrustend kalm, als een naderende storm. In het midden staat een grote metalen vuurtoren die een ongelooflijk helder licht uitstraalt. Dit is het baken dat je moet bereiken om te kunnen vertrekken.
Vliegende boten verlaten de vuurtoren voor een onbekende bestemming. De nachtelijke hemel wordt verlicht door flikkerende sterren, zijn daar bewoonbare planeten?
Waar je onze trouwe maan verwacht niet. De maan staat linksboven op één lijn met Saturnus, dit kan niet in werkelijkheid zijn.
Onheilspellend zie je de rode planeet Mars in het midden van het beeld.
Een beetje om over na te denken dus.

From his interests in both classical art and modern / contemporary art, Belgian artist Jan Keteleer (JanKé) works with different styles. Ancient art is one of his interests, but you can also find examples of his work in pop art and impressionism. If you browse through Jan Keteleer's portfolio, you will find beautiful nature scenes, painterly images of animals or pop art-based nudes.
After years of working in commercial photography, he turned his interest to artistic black and white photography. Projects such as Speechless, Silent Dialogues and Roots with Taboo brought him fame. He was inspired by the problems of the multicultural society in Belgium, the coexistence of different national and ethnic groups, the issue of the language barrier and the lack of dialogue between the "old" (the native population) and the "new" Belgians (the immigrants).
Today he has devoted himself entirely to digital painting. Using classical techniques such as acrylic and pastel, he creates individual elements that are then digitally brought together and finished.
JanKé attaches great importance to the social significance of his works and integrates them into the context of public space (stations, airports and public transport), prompting the viewer to react and reflect. His projects have received the support of the organization Sprakeloos, which aims to use art to provoke discussion on social issues.
He has had numerous exhibitions in Belgium (in Antwerp, Bruges, Lier, Leuven and Ghent), in the U.S. (in Dallas and San Francisco) and in Poland (in Krakow).
