Janec van Veen is known for his surrealist sculptures that blur the line between fantasy and reality by seamlessly blending real animals into otherworldly, ethereal beings.
Inspired by a variety of formative interests; evolutionary biology, art history, myths and legends, dystopian fiction, film and philosophy, and a keen sense of how human activity is affecting the natural world, each sculpture tells its own unique story.
He graduated from Goldsmiths University with a first class honours degree in Fine Art in 2001.
All the materials he uses have been legally acquired.
