Ann Katrin Whenever you are dancing in A-dam, and you see Edgar in a corner of the studio, make sure to take a piece of art with you.The shapes,colors and work is oh so variated and wonderful. |
Sabrina For me especially your watercolors are out of the world beautiful, incredibly artistic and inspiring |
Isabelle Nelson Every line is a dance |
Slava Your art is so vital and heartwarming! |

Pascale So nice to have your drawings all over the world and all those dancers who remember you.I love the concept. |
Daria Thanks to edgarportraits who as long as I can remember catches the energy of so many concerts. |
Saskia Ik vind zo mooi hoe jij iets zo open en gevoelig vastlegt. Je voelt gewoon de emoties van de persoon (of van jezelf) |
Hilde Door de fijne, zachte vloeiende lijnen, voel ik de emoties. |
Dominika When I see your drawing about dance I start smile. In your line you have life. |
Avishai Cohen |
Anna So lovely,vibrant and full of movement. Congrats on your impressive body of work |
Setareh It was a blessing to see sounds and emotions turn into evocative sketches by Edgar. He added a beautiful layer to the performance |
Marc Impressed how an artist can be expressive with some seemingly random scribbles. |
Aurelie What I see gives me an admirative big smile! Thank you for your creative sensitivity you bring into this world. |
Jacqueline Thank you for your beautiful energy. Gratitude for all your creativity in the space |
Sahra Abstract and so
precise...

Jade Edgar is such a gentle and humble person. I admire its sensitive artistry. |
Marija Grech What an honor to be invited to Edgar Jansen's atelier. Taking photos of him amongst a feast of his intimate works was truly moving - Marija Grech |
Ruth Borg |
Jasmine Melrose Just last week I had the pleasure of seeing Edgar's drawings and paintings, and most importantly, watching him work was engaging and eye opening. I am stunned by how he can translate such an intricate sense of movement and non-static lines onto paper or canvas. After seeing his portrait work I saw that his understanding of movement is also an understanding of life and breath, giving movement to even still things. |
Anne-Marie Wat een treffende, krachtige en zekere lijnen maar toch spontaan. |
Annabel Instant ink drawings, encapsulating the energy, movements, development, music and depth of the dance performance. |
Bailey So much fun getting to know the artiste extraordinaire. |
Ronny I love your work so much, you catch the movement and the emotion and deliver it through your drawings. It is so nice that thru art we can make bridge over seas and over cultures |
VIDISHA PUROHIT I'm theater person and performer and just love to understand visual art. I'm trying to update my self . keep in touch |
Zunnur Thank you for blessing me with one of your beautiful pieces: figurings of humans dancing repertoires. |
N. Mesgarzadeh Your drawings are like happenings in another dimension! |
Carolina Dorell Edgar Jansen is an amazing artist that captures the essence of moments. |
Renate While Edgar was painting me it was as if the colours were turning into music. |
Vegard So easy can you express it- when you are able to! Brilliant Edgar! |
Yvonne Montet You breathe life into your work, Edgar ! |
Dale So excellent to meet you yesterday, Edgar You are so exceptionally gifted |
Liesbeth Zo prachtig van kleur, wat een tederheid |
Elenise Silva Polli Edgar, I saw your drawings and felt pure enchantment! |
Miriam Toukan The professional talented and inspiring portrait painter Edgar Jansen was drawing our performance in Amsterdam in 2014. We will cherish this gift forever! |
Natalia Your paintings are so lively and full of motion, and the portrait of Avivit is fetching. Through the lines and touches of color, some kind of a modern affiliation to Rembrandt |
Carl Elke lijn op papier is in harmonie met het subject. De eer is aan mij om jou te bedanken hoe gevoel kan omgezet worden in materie. Je creaties zijn een zegening voor de ziel |
Eline hoi Edgar, Je hebt mooie tekeningen. Alsof het krijt zichzelf tekent en jij het instrument bent wat het krijt gebruikt. |
Susanna Through your colours and lines the world looks a better place. |
Carolina The way you capture the movement, the intention and emotions of the body is very unique . The layers you bild with the use of different materials ( pencil, ink, etc), reminds me the layers of our selves and the multiple histories that we have inside us. I can see you capture not only the physical movement but what is beyond... Thanks for sharing your art... |
Mari His artistry inspires me. Bold and powerful, yet very delicate - exactly the kind of dancer I aspire to be. |
Tatiana Your works always impress and inspire me |
Yvon Bouchard Edgar has set his spirit free. That is what allows such beautiful work. |
Inez Almeida Thank you Edgar for making visible the almost invisible. |
Saskia Ik vind het ontzettend knap hoe je zo snel een danser niet alleen kan neerzetten op papier maar ik was ook geraakt hoe het jou lukt om de essentie te vangen van dansers die je helemaal niet kent. Je ziet de emotie in de tekeningen. |
Hilke I enjoy visiting
your Website and
reading in the
portraits, feeling
the atmosphere in
your landscape and
being astonished
about your speed in
painting Dance
portraits. |
Djahan Perez I find the energy in your paintings so rich to watch! |
Tatiana You are such an artist! your paintings and drawings are very beautiful and emotion-provoking. |
Milica Painting music: Nothing makes me more relaxed than hanging with talented Edgar Jansen and his colleagues... Check out his beautiful work |
J. Kovacevic What a splendid thing watercolor is to express atmosphere and distance, so that the figure is surrounded by air and can breathe in it. |
Elisabeth Edgar, Bedankt dat ik mocht kijken in je Atelier. Daar merkte ik weer dat kunst, waar ik door geraakt word, voedsel voor de ziel is. |
Stephania Deeply thankful for allowing me to use your beautiful paining. It is speaking about movement, communication, rhythm, being together in the dance of life, a sharing energy. |
Cees Nooij Hoi Edgar, Heb
gesnuffeld op je
portret site.
Prachtig vond ik de
foto van het
portret van een
vrouw met bloedrode
dress en hoedje met
witte bloem vanaf
de rug gezien
tezamen met het
geschilderde.
Succes, en met
trots een verre
groet, Cees
P.S. Je
tekent dus ook in
bittere koude. |
Ronny I was looking at your works right now and I love so many of them. Your spirit is reflected through them I guess. The portrait of the Man with the Fur Hat is so beautiful I am writing the words that I see in it: melancholy, longing, comfort, and rugged. |
Habib Rahmeh I loved to see u captured the quality and movement so well and they moved me.. |
Alice I really like them, they have something kind of mysterious.., quite intriguing. |
H. Kwee Ik vind je tekening echt mooi; de lijnvoering, het losse, luchtige gevoel en de compositie. |
Vinicius That is so interesting to see how you work on the lines. Everything becomes fresh and full of intimacy. |
Zoë Daphne Today my #portrait was taken by the wonderful Edgar Jansen Check him out! #art #drawing #amsterdam It's so cool, *blush* |
Sirkka I love the lively line of this artist. If I we were in Amsterdam... |
Janet Pelling I want to say how much I love your work. And the sheer quantity! I have recently spent some time looking for portrait artists in Amsterdam and you really stand out. |
Laura Beatles in sottofondo, quadri ovunque, vetrate da dove penetra la luce, tavolo e pavimento macchiati di colori, fogli e matite sparse dappertutto....Come assaporare l'arte della pittura, della musica e del silenzio. |
Gavriel Lipkind Check Edgar Jansen's site. Nobody can paint movement and a musical moment as he does. |
Valeria It is true poetry what you paint. |
Nayana Bhat Edgar Jansen is one of the best movement painters I have ever met. His paintings of dance and movement are beautifully real and fluid. |
Francisca Ik houd van jouw
romantische stijl,
vervluchtigend in
het potlood, |
Sally Whiteman So much said in so few lines! Lovely ~ |
Anya I was researching Drawings Artists and came across your work. I am absolutely in love with it - it is extraordinary! |
Bettina It's inspiring to look & to read. And I'm impressed about the amount and diversity of the work you have done. |
Sara Terwijl je zat te tekenen zat ik achter je. Wat een bijzonder mooie techniek hanteer je. Zo helemaal uit je zelf. Mijn complimenten! |
Jija Sohn Hello Edgar! You are such a talented painter. I love how you seize the person's uniqueness and putting on your world. |
ShanEr |
Marjorie. Haworth The strong vibrant colours and the brush strokes are most effective. |
Goldie Milgram Edgar, your talent is so strong and spirit flows through in ways beyond words. To me you are in the major league of artists, so powerful, skillful and beautiful. Thank you for the gift of "seeing" life through your art. |
Mirsa Adami Fel gekleed en toch een bijzondere , rustige concentratie in het gezicht, meesterlijk! |
Claudia Xavier de Lima If they could speak...many colors and shapes, the language of the heart. |
Christopher Nyiti Oh,beautiful
Gallery
Edgar....realy nice
images,very
inspiring....... |
Jessica Love the work of Edgar! It swings & sings like jazz |
Federica Your work is special, you represent something more than the aesthetic of the body, something more internal. |
Nayana Bhat Keep the colors coming Edgar, they liven up my moods. |
Minka van Stoutenburg 'The Girl with the Venetian Mask' vind ik doordringend. Het meisje staat er ontroerend open op, als een kind dat er geen erg in heeft dat het ondanks het masker toch zichtbaar is. |
D.D. Wolf Finding a place for your drawing in my flat in Vienna.. |
Ruth I am a total
supporter of the
work you do: Poetry
in Motion. All the
best, Ruth |
G. Verzett Ik ben onder de indruk van uw werk. Met name de vrije hand en de dynamiek die u hanteert spreken me aan. Bovendien de veelzijdigheid, omdat u met veel verschillende materialen werkt, van pastel tot olie, in zwart-wit en in kleur. |
Bruno Moretti Sanlorano Mister Edgar
Jansen, |
Melissa I love how Edgar incorporates many art forms into his own art work. He captures movement from musicians, dancers, martial artists, and many other artists. This interesting variety is what I like most about Edgar's work. Great style from this interesting artist! |
Alessandra Hallo Edgar, |
International Art Scene Magazine Edgar Jansen
creates portraits
that perfectly
capture the essence
of the subject
without becoming a
dull record. The
color choices and
movement of
brushstrokes
elevate the
paintings from mere
portraits. |
Graham Reid Wow what a cool website, your work is lovely! |
Jessica Hekman Het mooie van jouw werk is dat het tijdloos is. Het zou net zo goed meer dan 100 jaar geleden gemaakt kunnen zijn. |
Haley Russo I have been a dancer for most of my life and I love the way you are able to capture the way people dance through emotional and strong stokes of ink. Your work is truly remarkable! |
Raul La linea es muy bonita, es como una mano voladora que pinta.... mucha libertad en el trazo e interesante composicion |
P. Nuijtens Dag Edgar, Dank voor de goede dagen als gast in je mooie woning, waar ik mocht slapen tussen de prachtige impressionistische schilderijen, die ik echt bewonder om hun mooie vele kleur- streepjes naast/door mekaar. Groeten uit het kunstige Bali. |
Florian You are a true artist, man... All my respect! |
Ingeborg Christophersen Thank you so much for the beautiful drawing you made during the concert I played in the Grachtenfestival in August! When I saw you drawing during my playing, I felt sorry for you since I move so much, change the recorder between every piece etc... But when you showed me the picture after the concert, I was so happy and impressed. You had captured my moving patterns and posture so perfectly, the picture was so real and alive. Now the drawing is in my home, reminding me of a very nice concert experience. Thank you very much! |
Nayana Bhat Dear Edgar, |
Lonia |
Waterplant Erg aparte tekeningen! Ik voel er wel de dans van de lijnen in om het zo maar te zeggen |
Elah Hi Edgar, We looked
at your website and
it's absolutely
amazing!! We are
still enjoying your
music drawings from
conservatory and we
even got them
framed because we
love them so much,
and we always tell
about you to our
friends who ask
about them. All the
best, Elah |
Manuela Wow Edgar, they are
great..it's always
amazing to see how
you can draw in
such a little light
and still manage to
capture the
movement!! |
Paula There is so much breath in it. I love this. Thank you, Paula, |
Ana Ladas Hello Edgar, |
Zoe Wijnsouw Hallo Edgar,
vandaag had u mijn
moeder aan de
telefoon
betreffende een
werk dat we hadden
gezien in het Korzo
theater. We zijn nu
zeer vereerd het in
huis te mogen
hebben hangen. We
zijn u veel dank
verschuldigd. We
zullen het een
mooie en prominente
plek geven. |

Valeria Mignaco & Alfonso Marin Dear Edgar, |
W.H. Edgar, Ik bewonder jou om je artistieke kracht en je ingetogen levenshouding. |
Stephanie Tucci Hey Edgar, It was a real treat for me to see your studio and your work in person. Your work has a great use of contrasting color and very expressive lines. Best, Steph. |
Yvon Bouchard Your website is full of so much variance! Everything moving and such color in your portraits. I truly admire the strength in your work! Your work is beautiful as if it pours from your soul at such a fast pace. You are doing what you are meant for... |
Maggie Boogaart Heel bijzonder hoe
Edgar met enkele
lijnen de beweging,
hieruit
voortkomende emotie
en zelfs onderlinge
gevoelens /relatie
tussen de dansers
weet te pakken op
papier! Zijn werk
doet mij sterk
denken aan de
schetsen van
Picasso, waarin hij
in een enkele lijn
de emotie &
energie van een
bruisende stier
weergeeft |

.G. Faber Bijzonder
veelzijdige site,
ook de video is
zeer het aanzien
waard. Veel werk
staat erop, en
allemaal vrij
recent. Bijzonder
mooi! Ik was
getroffen door de
beweging die er in
de musici zit, er
gebeurt echt
iets! |
Therese Du Bois Leuke tekeningen
van musici in een
vlotte, sprekende,
verleidelijke
stijl. Zo levendig
en vol beweging. Je
'ziet' de muziek
spelen. Zowel vrij
als secuur en fraai
in muzikale
uitbeelding. Knap
hoe de
uiteenlopende
muziekgenres
geillustreerd
worden. |
Gerda Toepoel Dag Edgar,zomaar wat zappend op internet kom ik op jouw site, wat een hele leuke website, heel verrassend, ik geniet van je kunst, ben veel op reis, moet weer meer gaan tekenen, lieve groeten, Gerda |

Michael Dellinger Great work!! There are few artists I really like but yours has feeling. Yours has personality of its own which I think is rare these days. Drawing shows great passion for your craft. Nice!! |

op jouw site
gekeken. |
Mieke en Rob Maarleveld We hebben je site
bekeken en er enorm
van genoten.
Bijzonder te zien
dat je met zoveel
onderwerpen bezig
bent. We vonden de
dansers heel mooi,
de honden
ontroerend en een
aantal prachtige
portretten. We
kunnen niet alles
noemen. |
Jan Finley I think your pastels are really nice. In fact all the paintings are lovely and I would love to paint like that one day. My husband bought me the pastels so that I do not get bored and I just want to say thank you again for the free lesson. Regards, Jan |
Gerrie Bevers Raak geschetst. Mooi. Je tekent de muziek erbij. Het is hoorbaar, voelbaar. Naast kwalitatieve tekentechnieken laat jij de schoonheid van vrijheid zien. |
Ben Buchenbacher We have met in a studio in 2004. I was trying to figure out the movements of his hands when a chaotic line became a dancer... |
Andreas Färber |
Nimalakanthan I accidentally
found Mr. Edgar's
art on YouTube ...
and I was amazed
... I got inspired
by his paintings
and drawings ....
the dancing
drawings all got
their flow and
rhythms. And I love
the mood and color
what Mr.Edgar did
in his art... and
his style ... the
direct applying of
paint to the canvas
and giving the
optical mix of
colors... |
Claire Tilley I instantly loved your work, I love the freedom with which you seem to draw each line, but that in reality you know exactly where each line is meant to go and what purpose it is meant to serve to portray the subject. The colours you use give each painting its own life and spirit. |
Darius Ensemble Beste Edgar, |
Cindy Robinson Alexander Hi Edgar, Your
style is just so
distinct and
classy...I think it
sets a beautiful
tone from the very
beginning... You've
actually managed to
capture the spirit
of the dancers
without it looking
posed or out of
proportion.
Amazing. Thank you,
Cindy |
Iona Marques Dear Edgar, |
E. Susan Williamson I love the graceful images which I have seen on your web site. I have enjoyed looking at your dancing and musical sketches immensely. Please allow me to print out 5 to 10 sketches. I will try to copy your work by drawing them for class. I would like to study more of your sketches. Thank you, E. Susan Williamson |
DANIELA POZINO I found your work
by accident on the
internet. I guess
accidents can also
be a good thing!
Beautiful! The
Dance drawings have
movement of their
own, musicality and
depth. Your art
reflects notions of
a world I like to
see. |
Bokkie Vink (Theater Centraal) ...Naast dans, tekst en muziek is er in een onopvallende hoekje van de tribune nog een andere kunstenaar aan het werk. Met zijn penseel en houtskoolkrijt volgt Edgar Jansen de danseres op de voet. Vliegensvlug gaat hij door zijn witte vellen heen. Een expressieve collage in het theatercafe is het verrassende resultaat en geeft de bezoekers een visueel toetje. |
Wil van Dogen Hoi Edgar, Je oh zo
knappe tekeningen
zitten vol
werveling en
beweging, dat is
prachtig. Vooral in
de dansen, maar ook
in de landschapen
van de USA. Ik kom
er vaak, en zie hoe
wolkenvelden de
rotsen doen
verkleuren, hoe na
de regen de
lichtbreking
verandert. Jij zet
het allemaal raak
neer. |
Corri Janssen Hallo Edgar, |
Rona Your drawings are beautiful, u succeed to capture the lightness in the movement, and the flowance within the movement... I'm looking forward to work with u! |
Enny Muin Hi Edgar |
Maggie Boogaart Beste Edgar, |

Karthikeyan All your drawings
are superb,

drying the clothes
and the elephant
and the old man
drawings are very
superb. When did
you came to Tamil

reflect the emotion
in your drawings.
You are definietly
get agreed from all
around the
world. |
Sabneet Kaur I was on google and
was looking for
good artists to use
for an art project.
I searched for
famous artist
paintings and your
picture caught my
eye. I like how
your paintings can
be really messy and
really pretty at
the same time. Most
artists give a lot
of details to their
paintings, but you
show that you don't
have to have that
many details to
look real. Your
paintings are
simple and yet at
the same time,
really beautiful.
By simple I mean
that the girls
aren't made up or
anything, but look
like real girls.
Most artists make
fantasy paintings
of people. I like
that yours look
like real people.
Thanks again for
letting me use your
picture in my art
project. |

Cecilia Bernardini Aan Edgar, de

angelique mols Heel indrukwekkend,
het werk van Edgar
Jansen. Ik ga elke
dag wel even op de
site kijken. (heb

televisieprogramma
waar E.J.
tekende) |
Tuesday Faust I am so inspired by
what a committed
artist you are.
Your website is
beautiful and shows
dimensions of your
work I was not
aware of before.
You are very
versatile yet you
have your own
voice.I think what
every dancer can't
help but admire in
your work is the
sense of movement.
I love that your
drawings of dancers
at first impression
look a little messy
because they are so
alive and bursting
with energy and
spontanaiety. You
really capture it
and in that way I
feel you are very
clear. |
Kate I think Edgar's
pictures are what
dance is really
about. They capture
the energy and
vibrancy of a
dance. These
pictures have been
an inspiration for
me for a school
project and Edgar
has been a great
help with my
project. Thanks! |

Kim Dear Edgar, |
Sheila Gogol The portraits are magnificent. I love the way they catch the essence of the individual and at the same time elevate the figure to a higher level. A wonderful combination of reality and dreaminess. What a wonderful opportunity you give your models to become immortal. |
Stephany Turner Edgar, I just
finished looking
through your
website and I am
very impressed.I am
a ballet dancer
from New York City
and I particularly
like your dance
drawings. They are
wonderful: full of
motion, feeling,
and form. They
remind me of Rodin.
Wishing you good
luck with your
art. |
Berry Bonkink |
Ties Mellema Hoi Edgar, |
Katinka van Dam Browsing through
internet looking
for a course where
I could learn the
art of portait
painting I came
across Edgar
Jansen. I was
immediately taken
by his directness,
the vibrating
colors and the
lively brush
strokes.This is
exactly what I want
to learn! |
