"Chris Berens studied illustration at the Academy of Art and Design in Os-Hertogenbosch, graduating in 1999.
While working as a freelance illustrator and animator, he set up his studios in several semi-abandoned buildings in the countryside near his hometown.
He developed a complex and time consuming painting technique as a way to achieve the result he aimed: with the initial idea for a new work, Chris paints every detail over and over on the coated layer of a glossy paper. All his works are hand painted using ink and different types of varnish. He then cuts out fragments, separates the coating layer from the underlying paper, and stacks and unifies them on a larger panel into one image. He keeps on doing so until the image has reached its destination."
