Januz Art, a name synonymous with expressive and boundary-pushing art, has long been a figure of intrigue in the art community.
Arjan Vergeer aka Januz Art is an artist from his hometown Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Most of his friends and family call him Januz, which is how the name “Januz Art” came about. From an early age, Arjan has always loved to draw, which naturally led to his desire to learn to paint professionally.
He started with traditional painting with acrylic and oil colours and graduated from the art school De Willem De Kooning Academy in 2001. Since then he has worked with many clients, mainly doing t-shirt designs, illustrations, murals, party decorations, tattoo designs, landscapes, character designs, album covers, posters and much more. His style is versatile, but always contains recognisable “Januz Art elements” such as ornaments, bright colours and psychedelic patterns. His art is also very detailed and unique.
In 2001, he won two design competitions that took him twice to the land of the rising sun, Japan. He travelled with a delegation to celebrate 400 years of trade relations between Japan and the Netherlands. Japan felt like home and he is keen to return there one day. Since then, Arjan has been heavily inspired by Japanese manga and pop culture, robots and mech art.
The hallmark of Januz's work lies in its dynamic color schemes and intricate patterns, capturing the essence of motion and emotion.
In the last ten years, in addition to his creative travels, he has also worked in a shop to pay his bills. Arjan began to draw less and less and even reached a point where he no longer enjoyed drawing at all. Until one day he decided to draw for ten minutes a day. Fortunately, he rediscovered the joy of drawing.
Furthermore, his art really took off again when he started to paint digitally. As a father of two beautiful daughters and with a busy business schedule, it was a real challenge for him to create more space for his paintings. With digital painting technology, he could literally start painting immediately, no matter where he was, without having to create space and get all the art materials ready. His years of experience in painting with colour also stood him in good stead for digital painting. He then decided to present his artwork on social media. Soon a new routine of making beautiful things emerged and design requests naturally followed.
