Casper Faassen

Casper Faassen grew up in Leiden (The Netherlands) where he developed his love for drawing and painting, inspired by the paintings of Rembrandt, another Leiden local.

Undecided on the best route to follow his passion and exploit his talent, Faassen chose Business School over Art School, beginning in San Diego and returning to Amsterdam to complete his Masters degree. Next to his studies, he developed his painting skills in his own time in his studio in Amsterdam.

In 2002 Faassen decided to focus solely on painting in which beauty remains the central theme in his work.
The female form and – more recently – flowers remain the key subjects of his paintings, distinguished by the use of subdeud images outlined in red or white and composed against contrasting backgrounds.
Besides painting, Faassen works with photography and lithography.

In 2007 Faassen received the ‘Talent of the Year’ award.

In 2008 Faassen launched his first book, celebrating the first years of his work.
