Luit de Jong, better known by his artist name “Dejo”, is a Dutch artist known for his colorful and imaginative style. He is part of the art movement Toyisme, a movement in which artists work under an alter ego and often perform masked to place the emphasis entirely on the art rather than on the person behind the work.

Dejo’s work stands out for its use of bright colors, playful forms, and surreal compositions. His art often has a dreamy and symbolic feel, with fantasy and reality blending into one another. In addition to paintings, he also creates graphic work and screen prints. His style is recognizable by the combination of humor, detail, and an almost comic-strip visual language.

With his work, Dejo aims not only to captivate visually but also to invite imagination and personal interpretation. As a result, his art appeals to a broad audience and has established a distinctive place within Dutch modern art.
