Jan van den Brink - Holland bicycle no.1 - oil on canvas

Jan van den Brink studied architecture at the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam. As an architect, Jan designed and built many buildings. He exhibited his paintings regularly and successfully at various locations in the Netherlands. Architecture more or less formed the basis in his paintings. The subjects were often realistic, but imitated with the artist's imagination and humor and sometimes a message spoke. The well-known pillars are often in an impossible position... is it an optical illusion or did Jan want to mislead the viewer? Also, pay attention to the details and meaning of the subjects in a painting. The longer you look at a painting, the more you discover.
