向上 (kōjō) — the Japanese word for elevation, improvement, and progress. Each original painting in this collection is a step in that process. Not the end result, but the movement towards it.
Each piece in this collection is one of a kind. 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. Shipped worldwide.
What makes an original painting different?
An original painting is not a reproduction. It is the work itself, with the layers of paint, the texture, the decisions I made while painting. Every brushstroke is still there. That's something a print can never match. Buying truly unique art for your wall: that's what this collection offers.
My original works are based on abstract forms, color field compositions, and architectural inspirations. Always with earthy tones that bring peace to your living room without being boring. From intimate sizes to large statement pieces for your wall.
I paint from my studio in Tilburg. Every work starts with an idea about color and composition, and ends as something I find beautiful enough to hang on my own wall. That is my only standard.
— Jordy Koumans, KOJO Art

Which size suits your living room?
A large painting gives the room direction and character. A smaller piece fits well in a gallery wall or as an accent next to furniture. Unsure about the size? Print the dimensions on paper and temporarily hang it where the work should go. This way, you can immediately see if the scale is correct.
