This painting, for me, embodies the delicate relationship between individuality and the external forces that shape us. The woman, central and unyielding, stands as a symbol of self-awareness and resilience. Her red and yellow attire echoes the vibrancy of life and personal identity, contrasted by the muted tones of the world around her. She meets the viewer with calm confidence, a silent invitation to reflect on the essence of our own being.
Behind her, the black silhouette looms large, representing society’s gaze and the omnipresence of technology, responsibility, and collective pressures. The profile, though faceless, is omnipotent, framing a collection of memories, aspirations, and realities. Each framed scene tells a fragmented story—from expansive cityscapes to intimate human moments, hinting at the complexities of life.
The figure at the computer within the silhouette stands as a poignant reminder of our modern distractions. Its placement within this larger-than-life profile feels intentional, pulling focus toward how our inner narratives are shaped by external, technological demands.
This piece is a conversation between the individual and the world, a meditation on the push and pull of identity, memory, and the collective. It’s a call for introspection in a world that often demands outward focus.

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).
