Remon de Jong (1977) creates abstract artworks built from digitized brushstrokes taken from 17th-century paintings. By isolating fragments of historical paint handling and recomposing them into new autonomous works, he creates a dialogue between old masters and contemporary abstraction.

His practice moves between oil paint, digital reconstruction, and physical objects of museum quality, often presented in rare antique frames that reinforce the tension between history and the present. Rather than reproducing the past, his work reactivates it: transforming cultural memory into something immediate, tactile, and alive. Each work carries traces of authorship across centuries, where the gesture of the old master meets a new hand, a new composition, and a new context.
