Bio
Jef Van Campen (b. 1934) breathes the harbor. For more than seventy years, the rhythm of docks, locks, cranes, and ships has shaped the resonant core of his artistic practice. In his paintings and watercolors, he captures the interplay of light, water, and steel with a precision that is at once powerful and poetic. The port of Antwerp is never merely a backdrop in his work: it is a living world, full of movement and quiet beauty, one he continually rediscovers.
