Biografie
 

Jan Peter Vos , born in 1941 in Blaricum, the Netherlands, is the oldest son of a textile business family.

Introduced at an early stage by his father into the worlds of art, nature and photography, he grasped its fascination and became part of it.
He developed a sense to think and see things differently to find out, that most of the world around him just does the opposite.

Planning to join the world of textiles himself, his life took a major turn in 1965.Holland became too small for him, so he started an eventful life and departed to Latin America, where he found his lost “home” in Guatemala.
The colorful lifestyle of its people, their emotions and the very special touch of nature in that part of the world got anchored for good in his soul.

 1969, after the birth of his first 2 kids, he decided to return to Europe to learn more about industrial thinking.
During the 70´s he has been working for a large Dutch international company and became an active part of the video and computer revolutions.
As such he has been actively involved in the birth of the first consumer videocameras and played as from the early 80´s an prominent role in developing and marketing the early  generation of personal computers.

Fascinated by innovation and the development of human thinking, he entered the software industry to develop and market with a small group of equallyminded people revolutionary software solutions with the main focus on user interfaces.

Whatever he did or wherever he was, photography, his father’s heritage, was his permanent companion.

His great love is the beauty of the insignificant, showing things, that one would find hard to discover.

It is this special love, that inspires him to think and act differently.

“Sometimes it is only a tiny thing, that can cause major effects”

To see these things and their impact, that is his art.   

Enjoy this fascinating world and get stunned by nature´s creativity.
