Figurative art that balances recognition and interpretation. Each piece in this collection is hand-painted by me, Jordy Koumans, in my studio in Tilburg. In acrylic or oil paint on canvas, signed, dated, and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
What is figurative art?
Figurative art uses recognizable shapes, figures, or objects, unlike purely abstract art. But recognizable doesn't mean literal. In my figurative works, I combine recognizable elements with abstract techniques. Silhouettes, suggestive forms, movement. Enough to recognize something, enough to see something of yourself in it.
That's the power of figurative art on the wall: it invites interpretation without losing the viewer. There's an anchor point, but the meaning is personal.
Figurative works often originate from a feeling or a memory of a shape for me. Not a photo I want to replicate, but an impression I want to capture. The result is always something between recognition and surprise.

Figurative painting for your living room
Figurative art adds a human dimension to a space. It draws the eye, sparks curiosity, and gives the living room a story. At the same time, it is versatile enough to fit into modern, eclectic, and artistic interiors.
Living room. A figurative painting as a statement piece above the sofa or on a prominent wall gives the room character and gives guests something to talk about.
Hallway or entrance. The first impression of your home. A figurative work on the wall immediately sets the tone and makes it clear that someone with taste and their own story lives there.
Study or office. Figurative art keeps the mind active. A work with movement or tension in the composition makes the space more vibrant.

Yes. All works in this collection are original, hand-painted paintings in acrylic or oil paint on canvas. Each work is unique and one of a kind, no reproduction or print.
What is the difference between figurative and abstract art?
Figurative art uses recognizable shapes or figures. Abstract art works purely with color, form, and composition without recognizable representation. In my figurative works, I combine both: recognizable elements with abstract techniques.
