Biography

The Limburger Van Soest settled in Amsterdam in 1947, where he studied at the Rijksacademie. Since 1974, van Soest has used classic works from art history as inspiration for his work. According to Leon Mommers, art dealer and friend of van Soest, the artist wanted to transform work by Bruegel and van Eyck into something new, into “a real van Soest” (Zuiderlucht, March 2009).
