Jean-Louis Nicéphore Janssens was born 22 march 1976 in Knokke, Belgium. He graduated in 1997 at the Art Academy in Bruges. From 1998 'till 2008 he spent long periods abroad, travelling around the world (India, Nepal, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Andaman Islands, Indonesia, Maroc, Senegal, Mali, Suriname,...). In 2008 he decided to open up his own gallery.

'Blessed with the gift of endurance, the long suffering and an optimistic outlook for the best, seeds have been manifesting from ideas to actual, mystic and spiritual creations. Inspired through dreams, emotions, faith and the reality of my surroundings, I keep on fighting my peaceful revolution to seek the truth on my way to redemption...'
