Edo Fuijkschot is an experienced fine artist whose work has been exhibited widely. After a successful career as an illustrator and animator across four continents, he pivoted to classical drawing and painting, with an emphasis on the figure, portrait, and still life genres.
Edo's work recently won him first place on the television programme Sterren op het Doek, in which he and his fellow contestants were tasked with painting the portrait of Dutch darts champion Raymond van Barneveld. He has been shortlisted for multiple awards for his work, and brings a broad professional perspective shaped by both his independent studio practice and commissioned projects. In addition to his own artistic career, Edo is an instructor of figure drawing in DARA's Trimester Programme, where he shares his experience and knowledge with the next generation of artists. |
