Corné Akkers (1969) was born at Nijmegen, The Netherlands at a time where no one has witnessed Woodstock and the man on the moon. As a child of creative parents and a product of the sixties, he was raised with art in great abundance. The result was a continuous painting and drawing rage from early childhood on. He also quickly took a keen interest in nude studies and portrait art. After devouring high school and a raw law study, there was time for a career in the management consultancy. However drawing and painting never ceased to be his primary passion in life. At the beginning of this millennium an old dream awoke, causing to drag lingering arty dreams to higher grounds. In the meantime a love was born of oil paints. After following several drawing and painting courses, it was time to let a broader audience meet his art.
