Belgian artist Jan Cobbaert was on a quest to find beauty in the hard reality of the world.

Cobbaert had a positive attitude. While his subjects might not be immediately recognisable, shapes of children and toys often emerge if you look long enough. Despite his unique style, he is often compared to artists of the CoBrA movement, like Karel Appel and Corneille.
