Welcome to my website.

I’m so glad you took the time to take a look at my world of art, mystery and imagination.

I’ve been known as Freek Jansen since January 24, 1993. For me painting on canvas is much more than just applying paint to a canvas. It’s the way I bring my thoughts, fascinations and stories to life.

I find my inspiration mainly in myths, the occult, mysteries and stories that make you think. I find it interesting to look at subjects from a different angle and give familiar stories new meaning. Sometimes a painting emerges from an idea, sometimes from a story and sometimes from a thought that I simply can’t get out of my head.

And sometimes reality itself becomes part of the story.

On March 24, 2025, I was the victim of a violent incident in which I was attacked with an axe and ended up in the hospital. To this day, questions remain about exactly what happened. Was it a person possessed by a demon? Was it the Gin Jinn demon from my 2024 artwork? Or was there more to it perhaps a connection to a painting that certain people weren’t happy with?

I’ll probably never get all the answers. The police were unable to find a suspect. Exactly what happened that day remains a mystery to me.

Perhaps that’s exactly why mysteries play such a big role in my art. Not everything needs to have a clear answer. Sometimes it’s the question itself that makes it interesting.

In addition to my fascination with the mysterious, I also have a deep love for animals. I love capturing their personality, presence and beauty on canvas. I’ve now had the privilege of painting several commissioned animal portraits. After all a pet isn’t just any animal it’s an important part of someone’s life.

That’s why I’d love to paint your beloved pet in my own style, so you’ll have a unique work of art that you can cherish forever.

Your idea, my canvas

With me, pretty much anything is up for discussion. Do you have a unique idea, a story you’d like to see depicted, a pet you want to immortalize or simply a concept that doesn’t exist anywhere else?

Let me know.

I’m open to unique ideas, strange stories, dark concepts and creative challenges. Maybe your idea will start as a simple thought and end up as a unique work of art on your wall.

Thank you for stepping into my world.

I hope my art sparks your curiosity, makes you think and maybe even makes you question just a little what’s real and what’s imagination.

Who knows… what story will soon be on your canvas?
