Jacques Mels was a self-taught artist. At a young age he moved to Curacao, where he became a teacher at a business school. Back in the Netherlands he worked in Amsterdam, The Hague and Limburg. His oeuvre includes many cityscapes, still lifes and portraits, which he made in a completely unique, almost expressionistic style. Mels painted many landscapes in Brabant and South Limburg in which the cloudy sky plays an important role. He created beautiful landscapes, mainly using watercolor techniques, in which the use of a lot of black and unusual colors provided extra drama.
