This beautiful painting of a small rowing boat with African women is an exquisite example of Belgian artist Jan Keteleer's figurative expressionist style. Refreshingly simple, its stunning imagery is sure to evoke powerful emotion in anyone who appreciates great art.

The immediate beauty which greets the eye when beholding this work of art presents the perfect thought-provoking piece for any art lover. In it, local fishermen can be found 1900 worldwide and the allure of the African landscape adds an extra dimension. Painted using acrylic paints on panel, the work aims to capture Africa's atmosphere with fishermen catching fish with smallnets for their daily meals.

The creation of this piece was no easy feat – made up of acrylic paint, ink on a panel and framed in a black wooden frame - every minute detail has been taken into consideration down to every brush stroke that composes its vivid colors and imagery. It stands as reminder to us all to slow down and appreciate life's essence instead of always driving ahead in constant production.

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).
