TYMON

Tymon de Laat draws inspiration from the vibrant streets of Rotterdam and the rich cultures of Latin America, a connection sparked by a transformative year-long journey to the region after graduating from the Willem de Kooning Academy. This experience profoundly shaped his artistic vision, infusing his work with a deep appreciation for multiculturalism and the stories of people he encountered along the way.

Known for his striking portraits, Tymon captures everyday individuals—often natives from his travels—and transforms them into symbols of cultural richness. His swirling patterns, bold colors, and unmistakable style shift the focus from the individual to the beauty of their heritage, creating a visual celebration of diversity. From a young Laotian girl on a wall in North England to a Cuban tobacco farmer showcased at Amsterdam's Straat Museum, his murals and canvas works evoke emotion and tell compelling stories.

Through his art, Tymon de Laat bridges cultures and invites viewers to see beauty in unexpected places, earning him a unique place in the contemporary art world.
