Personal Information.
John Baselmans; Philosopher, artist and writer
He was born in Aalst (Waalre), Netherlands
may 20, 1954. Now living on the Antilles.
At the age of three he began to draw like
every child, without any shyness:
His family: Baselmans (father) -
Verhoeven (mother) Both of them
were creative.
His grandfather (father's side) was a
textile designer like his father, but
his father was also creative in many
other areas.
He talked a lot about drawings and
everything that was important for him
to know about art.
|
His grandfather (mother's side) was
a man with a lot of hobbies and he
did everything he wanted to do.
He learned music (violin and piano) from
him as well as photography -
development, etc. He taught him "how to
see" in order to create drawings and
paintings. There are many things to
learn in our world around us.
His grandfather died too soon for him
and with his death John's teacher was
gone and his world was empty and
lonely (he thought).

The best thing that ever happened was
around his 15th birthday.
When his father began to redraw an old
drawing of his grandfather's.
Pen & Ink was not his father's "forte".
As John observed him working with that
medium on paper, and after many
mistakes, he took his fathers pen out of his
hand and made my first pen drawing.
Six years later John made the
"De Nachtwacht" (The Nightwatch)
of Rembrandt van Rijn.
From his father he learned woodcarving,
clay-painting and a lot of other
techniques that he still use today.
|
Thoughts / Goal.
He believes that everybody can draw and
paint, as long as you give it your 100%
"An artist sees not only with his eyes
but also with his heart and soul"

He want to make as many drawings
in the time left.
