Life and work
He was born in Lokeren, East Flanders, Belgium, in 1880.[2] He studied at the Antwerp National Higher Institute of Fine Arts.[3] Among his fellow students there were Joe English, Isidoor Opsomer, and Maurice Sys.[4] He was influenced by Emile Claus and Theodoor Verstraete.[3][5] During his career his style changed from Impressionism to Expressionism.[3]
He married and then settled in the forest of Daknam. His paintings mostly depict the landscape and the people of Waasland.[3]
In 1921 the family moved to Mechelen, and then to Uccle,[3] where Welvaert died in 1946.[2] In the latter part of his career his paintings' colors became gloomier. His last paintings are portraits and Brabant landscapes.[3]
