The finalists of the @figuratieve.kunst.vandaag were announced today, sadly I didn’t make the cut - but am honoured to have made the Top 100 amongst such outstanding international painters. I have however, been invited to take part in the FiKVA Gallery Representation Prize, awarded to just 15 painters, whose work they believe deserves even broader visibility.

Currently available @blueshopgalleries Works on Paper 7 online exhibition.
“From 888 submitted artworks, our distinguished jury has selected the Top 100 for the International FiKVA Award for Painters 2025!
This year’s entries were nothing short of extraordinary, and the decision-making process was as inspiring as it was challenging. The sheer quality, craftsmanship, and emotional power of the submitted works reflect the incredible vitality of representational painting today.
To every artist who entered - thank you! And to our Top 100, congratulations! Your work has captured the jury’s attention and admiration.
The FiKVA-foundation (Figuratieve Kunst Vandaag) is a non-profit organization based in Antwerp. We are devoted to promoting contemporary realism and figurative arts. Gifted artists worldwide can enjoy our support.“
The International FiKVA Award 2025 was judged by a diverse panel of professional artists, gallery owners, and collectors, representing a wide range of backgrounds and artistic styles - from realism and surrealism to hyperrealism and photorealism.
