I was born in Dordrecht in 1958 and now live in Apeldoorn.

My art started with photography and my love for travel. While traveling I would photograph everything that I saw, focusing on the composition. During the past five years I have been introduced to a variety of artistic endeavours and found myself experimenting with abstract painting. I would now consider myself to be purely an abstract painter.

My inspiration is the people I meet, the images I see, and the emotions that I feel while travelling. My work is the result of my desire to understand people. Full of colour, depth, and sometimes a bit mysterious, my paintings always come from the heart and show who I am and what I love in life.

I have exhibited around the Netherlands, twice in New York and in Las Vegas. I also had exhibitions in Turin, Rome, Lisbon, Vienna, Madrid, Hamburg, Tokyo, Beijing and New York.
My paintings are published in international art books and magazines (in USA, Germany, Austria, Italy, United Kingdom).

I am an enthusiastic co-owner of art gallery ArtFra in the town of Apeldoorn. Together with my wife Roely I run the gallery "Menno Vos Galerie & Atelier" on the island of Schiermonnikoog.
