Jochem de Graff born 1954 in Brabant, Holland lives and works in the neighbourhood of Amersfoord, Holland. Painting in the abstract form has always been his passion. His inspiration is to paint figurative work on canvass.

The way he works texture using a special formula to develop his subject, gives his work a unique dimension. This highlights aspects within the subject he his painting. This is achieved with a knife, thick pencils and a spatula. He then adds bold colour to the canvas to create definition, light and shadow.

Jochem has now developed a range of floral work, which complements the three-dimension effect he gives to his figurative work. Tulips, Roses and Sunflowers are among his favourite floral studies.
