Working in a hyper-realistic drawing style, he captures intensely minute observations of cityscapes and people, as exemplified in his series of drawings of the New York skyline. In another notable series, he creates detailed depictions of crowds drawn from an aerial perspective that lends a sense of voyeurism to his work. Born on July 1, 1943 in Klagenfurt, Austria, he studied fresco painting, graphics, and photography and initially had a successful career as a commercial photographer for major magazines in Munich. In 1971, he published the popular book 100 Rainy Days, leading to numerous subsequent book illustration commissions. His drawn portraits of child prisoners was the subject of a major solo exhibition in 2013 at the Leopold Museum in the city of Vienna, Austria, where he lives and works.

    Janssart, pseudonym Wouter W. Janssen As early as the age of six, the talented Wouter painted the blossoming blossom trees in his parents' garden. At fourteen, he painted a portrait of his teacher at school and was rewarded with a ten for ‘drawing’ on his diploma.

This love of artistic expression continued to grow over the years, fuelled in part by the success of his creations. At the age of eighteen, this passionate painter decided to devote his life entirely to fine art, combining his studies at art school with working in a restoration studio. Here he discovered the secrets and painting techniques of the old masters, it fuelled his interest in art history and art movements.
