Curriculum Vitae
Jac volbeda



Date of birth : 16 July 1955, The Netherlands.
Educational qualifications:
Os-Hertogenbosch Royal Academy of Art and Design (Koninklijke Academie voor
Kunst en Vormgeving) 1977-1982
Specialism : Environmental design

Graduated in 1982 having been awarded the 's-Hertogenbosch city prize for
his objects, paintings, an architectural design plan and an extended essay
about Land-art.
In the years following his graduation Jac focused fully on his painting
activities, resulting in commissions by private buyers, businesses and
public sector organisations.
The inspiration that landscapes provide him with is transferred to the
canvas in a robust and expressive style. Both the overpowering impact of the
rugged Scottish scenery as well as the intriguing Tuscan landscapes are
portrayed in wild vigorous gestures.
However, if you examine the evocativeness of the paintings more closely, you
will discover a multiplicity of shades of colour and subtle outlines.
