Hello! Let me introduce myself.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:
Johan de Champs (1959) , born in the Netherlands in Velsen (near to Amsterdam) is an artist who is working with mixed media on canvas, wood and synthetic illustration paper. 
Most of his paintings are colorful realistic art with subjects like wildlife, flowers, portraits. 
Also commission paintings are a possibility for interested clients who would like to have something personalized. 
After he had great personal teachers,  like half-native American Sun-Bear Espinoza (1935 – 1999), Johan went to Institut für Ausbildung in bildender Kunst ( Art school In Bochum, Germany). 
Later he traveled to the USA to visit Dru Blair’s School of Art in North Carolina. 
Lately followed a workshop at Foxy Studio for hyper realistic oil painting.
