Ruben van Veen (born 1960) lives and works in the Netherlands and studied drawing and painting at the Volksuniversiteit in Gouda and the Royal Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague. He has been exhibiting since 1992. His work is included in museum and private collections. In 2016 a catalog appeared, “Ruben van Veen / Drawings Paintings Cardboard,” a selection of his work from 1994–2016.

General information:
Ruben van Veen makes drawings, paintings and works on cardboard in a figurative, intuitive approach in which the subconscious plays an important part in the creative process.
Without a preplanned idea, he starts with a piece. Then a human figure always appears. Usually accompanied by an animal, a fruit, an everyday object. This combination of images offers a glimpse into a bizarre world. The central theme in his work is the human being and the complex social relationships that people have with one another. It concerns desires and fears and reveals the thin line between tempting and repelling, harmony and conflict, tenderness and fighting.
Not without irony, he attempts to image the riddle of life and is in search of a continually shifting standard of beauty."
