In this vibrant painting, a young girl walks barefoot along a sandy beach, her small footprints fading as the tide gently laps at the shoreline. Dominated by hues of blue and white, the painting captures the serene beauty of the sea and sky, reflecting tranquility and nostalgia.
The girl's innocent joy is palpable as she splashes through puddles, her youthful curiosity evident in the way she watches the surf with wide-eyed wonder. Her dress, a soft white, mirrors the purity and playfulness of her spirit. She seems lost in a world of her own, unbothered by anything but the rhythm of the waves and the sensation of sand between her toes.
The artist masterfully conveys the essence of childhood—uncomplicated, filled with discovery and delight. Each brushstroke tells a story of freedom and the joyous exploration of nature's simplest gifts. This scene evokes memories of carefree days spent by the sea, the sun kissing your skin, and the sound of distant waves inviting you to dream.
Ultimately, this artwork celebrates the ephemeral beauty of these moments, urging viewers to cherish the present and to find peace and joy in the natural wonders that surround us.

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).
