About

Welcome to the artistic world of Francis Vanhoonacker, known in the art community as "The Monday Painter". This unique moniker stems from his cherished routine of painting only on Monday evenings at the Kortrijk Art Academy. The reason behind this schedule? Francis maintains a bustling professional life throughout the rest of the week, leaving him just one evening to dedicate to his true passion.

Francis has been a prolific drawer since his youth, a hobby that has beautifully evolved into painting. His early sketches, often inspired by comic books, echo in his current works, where the vivid, dynamic style of graphic novels continues to influence his brush strokes.

Looking ahead, Francis harbors ambitions to dive deeper into his artistic pursuits as he plans to scale back his professional obligations in the future. Through his paintings, he aims to explore and express more of the captivating visual narratives that have always sparked his imagination.

Join us on this vibrant journey as we continue to showcase Francis's evolving artistry, where every brush stroke tells a story and every color sings a tune. Here's to more than Mondays filled with creativity and expression!
