Jake Baddeley

ILLUSTRATOR: Jake Baddeley LIVES: The Hague, Holland

Born in Nottingham, England, in 1964, Jake has been drawing since his early childhood. After finishing his education as an illustrator at the University of London, in 1988, he decided to travel around Europe, which led him to the Netherlands. In 1990 he began living in The Hague where he established himself as a professional artist. Ever since, he has had successful solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally and his work has found its way into many private and corporate collections.

Jake draws his inspirations from many sources: the Ancient Greeks, the Italian Renaissance Masters, the Dutch Masters, iconography, mythology, psychology and philosophy. But most of all he relies on his own subconscious and intuition, which has proven many times to have a logic and curious independence of its own.
