Van Koningsbruggen was educated at the Royal Academy of Art and the Vrije Academie, both in The Hague, and at Ateliers '63 (Haarlem). Around 1974, he started making his shifted 'sliding' paintings in an 'informal' way by putting paint on one canvas and sliding a second canvas over it; this automatically created more or less parallel strips of paint on both canvases, which he then usually presented as a diptych or quadriptych. One canvas was the brush for the other canvas. Van Koningsbruggen saw this working technique as an informal painting method in which the result of the painting is created anonymously, without much influence from the personal signature of the maker. The informal idea is central to this period.
From 1980 onwards, colours became more important in his work. He developed his own colour circle. His later paintings are often characterised by simple shapes such as a circle, a rectangle or a funnel.
