Exploring the Human Form:

ART INSPIRED BY PRO WRESTLING AND SUPERHEROES

»As an artist, I’m captivated by the human body, its strength, and the essence of movement. Drawing inspiration from pro wrestling, superhero comics and 90s martial arts movies. I freeze moments of raw energy and power in my artwork while also revealing the vulnerability behind these strong bodies.«

PORTRAYING MOTION:

STRONG BODIES IN POWERFUL MOVEMENTS

»With my background in animation and motion design, I bring a unique perspective to my work. I capture dynamic motion and action in each piece, further enriching the storytelling aspect of my art.«

Textured Surfaces and Lifelike Characters:

SWANTJES ARTISTIC PROCESS

»Texture serves as the cornerstone of my creative process, as I embrace both the incidental textures resulting from paint mixing and the deliberate application of diverse tools and techniques to enhance depth. These richly textured surfaces then become the canvas for me to breathe life into them with my characters, allowing them to flourish within this intricate visual landscape.«

Vibrant Colors for Energetic Compositions:

neon hues and fluorescent paint

»While my work is often infused with the dynamism of bright neon colors and fluorescent paint, I also find inspiration in the calming and grounding essence of earthy browns, rich greens, and natural hues.«
