The artist




 


 

Ton Pret is a painter artist with a very personal style, characterized by a very bold use of color, incredibly imaginative figures and an explosion of enthusiasm, spontaneity and positivity.

Although as a child Ton drew a lot, molded and did other forms of creativity, it took many years before he decided to become a painter artist. From one day to another, he knocked over the helm and has followed his heart. He also has no single artistic training, but is a pure autodidact who totally isn’t guided by rules or tendencies, but only follows his spontaneity and inexhaustible paintings of Ton are his transformation of reality into the world of his fantasy, as Ton only knows. With these paintings he gives the viewer the opportunity to share his fantasy world. The viewer is token to another dimension and experience, which gives a certain feeling of  happiness.

In a very short time, Ton became well known in the world of art and his work was also seen in the famous Amsterdam Beurs van Berlage, the Fortezza da Basso in Florence, the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Ascona, Paris, Barcelona etc. Not only his paintings and sculptures are sought after
by collectors and enthusiasts, but also his famous art shoes, jeans, jackets, watches, design furniture etc have become true collector items. For this reason Ton designed special art shoes for Dutch most exclusive shoe brand Greve and also for the catwalk in Paris. Among his clients are well known collectors and celebrities, who also appreciate his work and even one of them let Ton painted his Ferrari 355 GTS in a real driving artwork.

Although people keep trying to box the style of Ton in a certain place, they can’t find the right box so just the “Pret style” it will be.
