Jef Germonprez

“A common thread through my life is the pursuit of freedom and the constant fight against all kinds of injustices. 

This way of life translates into my artworks. The charge against all forms of violence in all its aspects is regularly addressed in my works. Racism, which violently strikes Man in its socio, cultural and deepest being, is a daily thorn in my side."

"Violence that may or may not be hidden within relationships is a theme that is also close to my heart. Violence against nature which is an indirect attack against all Human beings also concerns me."

"I must be able to express this dissatisfaction with the state of affairs in my surrounding world with the means I have: painting and holding it up as a mirror to other people.”
