Dreams, Reality, Desolation, and Urbanism in the Fantastic Paintings of Artist Jacob Brostrup (16 works)

The paintings of Dutch artist Jacob Brostrup are captivating, even to those unfamiliar with art. His fantastical scenes, intricately intertwining nature and urbanity, are captivating, and the incredible detail compels one to contemplate his works long and thoughtfully.





The artist behind these fantastical paintings is a professional designer, as is readily apparent from many of his works. Jacob Brostrup graduated from the Danish National School of Design in Copenhagen, but prefers to live and work in sunny and vibrant Barcelona.



Brostrup's paintings are characterized by an abundance of architectural details, often surrounded by lush vegetation. Ponds overgrown with duckweed and reeds, mossy fallen trunks of forest giants, hanging vines and flowers, combined with staircases, doors, and furniture, evoke a post-apocalyptic world where humanity no longer has a place.

In his work, the artist often combines regular paints with fluorescent ones, which gives his paintings an additional photorealistic quality. The artist's special technique imbues his paintings with depth, drawing the viewer in, drawn by the abundance of small, intriguing details.
