About Me
- Jason de Graaf
- My paintings are about staging an alternate reality, the illusion of verisimilitude on the painted surface, filtered so that it expresses my unique vision. Though my paintings may appear photoreal my goal is not to reproduce or document faithfully what I see one hundred percent, but also to create the illusion of depth and sense of presence not found in photographs. Many of my paintings are about the relationship of light with reflective and transparent surfaces and my journey to understand those qualities and convey my sense of wonder and intrigue over them. In all of my paintings the subject matter is a springboard and a means to explore my ability to communicate something unique to the viewer. I use colours and composition intuitively with the intent of imbuing my paintings with emotion, mood and mystery. Throughout, I try to remain open to new ideas as the painting unfolds.

What strikes me is that the subject entirely compliments the background while providing its own surprising narrative. That's fun.
Once again a beautiful piece of painting!

This is awesome. It is painted beautifully!
Jason, your work is brilliant! I've been following you for quite some tome and just found you on Facebook.
I think this is one of your most striking paintings. From the composition, to the content, to the wrapping shadows, I am very attached to this image.
Incredible work as always. Do you uses brushes and/or an airbrush for work?
Thanks everyone. David, I use maybe 85% brush and 15% airbrush.
your paintings are beautyful!
Brilliant, beautiful, striking, but where's the beef!!! Chops, chops, chops. You've got them. You can make a successful painting, but can you make culture? A lot of people can do what you're doing. In this world, it's all rather ordinary. But, take what you're doing and make culture.... that's the challenge and that's where it will count. Who are you? What did you eat for breakfast? Where do you live? Stop impressing yourself and take a leap of faith. I will bet you can make something of significance. The question is - why not be extraordinary? Signed anonymous, but you know.
I just love this work Jason! The technique, subject matter, and colors are wonderful!
so good. sooooo good. so inspiring...
Very nice man!
