Jef Van Campen (born February 6 1934, Antwerp) is a Belgian art painter. He is mostly known for his maritime paintings.
Jef Van Campen is most known for his maritime paintings (harbor impressions, rivers and sea and most important, ships!). His work also contains portraits and still life. Jef Van Campen rewards the viewer with a nearly abstract/expressionist use of color and he paints with the spontaneity of his experience. Using impressionistic techniques and expressive symbols, he conveys substance and atmosphere with the minimal means that have become his trademark. As one of Belgium's beter-known artists, his works have been exposed in museum, corporate and private collections numerous times in Belgium, Europe and abroad.
