In this vibrant painting, the boxer is captured in a close-up that exudes raw energy and determination. The dominant color, red, pulsates through the scene, symbolizing both the vigor and the intensity of the sport. The boxer's red gloves are the focal point, their sheen reflecting the ambient light, hinting at the ferocity within each punch.
His face, framed by the gloves, is a study in focused intensity. Beads of sweat glisten on his forehead, evidencing the effort and dedication poured into every training session. His eyes, sharp and unwavering, peer out from beneath furrowed brows, conveying a sense of unwavering resolve and anticipation for the next move.
The background is deliberately out of focus, a blurred mix of muted tones that ensures all attention remains on the boxer's visage. This lack of distraction amplifies the gravity of his expression, making it clear that he is in the zone, ready to strike.
The overall composition of the painting masterfully uses contrasts — the sharp clarity of the boxer's face against the soft, indistinct background — to highlight the drama and intensity of the moment. It’s a powerful portrayal of athletic prowess and mental fortitude, encapsulated in a burst of red.

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).
