Hi, I’m Ruben T. van Stegeren
As a web designer and artist, I wanted to create a space where both my creativity and my love for storytelling come together, and that’s how ARTvS was born.
The name comes from my initials, RTvS, with an added ‘A’ for art.
My journey with art started early, inspired by the paintings of my great-grandfather that filled our home. Over the years, I’ve explored abstract expression, experimenting with texture, color, and emotion. Every piece I create tells a story and through ARTvS, I want to share these stories with you.
Why My Artworks
Are Named After Cities
You will notice that most of my paintings are named after cities. These places hold a special meaning for me, some are cities I’ve lived in, some I’ve travelled to, and others represent people or experiences tied to them. Each piece captures not just the essence of the place, but my personal connection to it, whether it’s the energy of Berlin’s rainy streets, the warmth of Buenos Aires, or the artistic inspiration of Amsterdam. Through my art, I hope to take you on this journey with me.
