Jef Lenaers was born in Kempen, Belgium in 1943. He studied at the academy of art in Beeldende Kunsten Mol from 1962 - 1969 and is now a member of the famous Belgium art group “Hat Pallet.”

He has always painted in a colourful style that harmonises with the painting. His intense interest in shapes and patterns help him to construct his work, an important element in the abstract pieces he produces. His use of paint on the canvas creates an array of textures that are achieved by using both brush and palette knife.

Jef is also a keen ceramist in the modern styles, which he has received high acclaim. Including his sought after abstract work, his portfolio features his paintings of flowers, city scenes, harbour impressions and his recognised landscapes.

Lenaers’ original work can be seen in leading art galleries across Europe and the UK.
