ABC Treehut Exhibition
September 7th to 30th, 2009
Jeroen van Valkenburg uses the same traditional painting techniques as the 17th century Dutch Master-painters.
His works are inspired by ancient myths and sagas that he encountered during his study Archaeology at the University in Leiden.
The stories from the Viking era (9th to 11th Century A.D.) play an especially important role in his works. His interest mainly lies in the religious and mystical side of the Viking culture. He tries to capture their magical and mythical atmosphere in his creations. His oil paintings can sometimes be regarded as icons of gods and goddesses long forgotten.
His paintings have been exhibited in many galleries in Holland and abroad.
His work is also well known from all the book/cd/lp covers he has designed.
