Collin van der Sluijs is a renowned painter and illustrator from Maastricht, The Netherlands.

After graduation from the art academy at St. Joost in 2004, Collin moved to the south of the Netherlands where he now lives and works on exhibitions and projects.

 His work can be described as personal pleasures and struggles in daily life.

Working without sketches or notes, the artist dives into each artwork with spray paint, acrylics, and ink as ideas take hold and images slowly emerge.

Collin’s art also includes fascinating wall murals.

He frequently examines themes of the natural world such as the cycle of life, the depictions of various species of birds, and the psychology of beings both human and animalistic.
