About Jeroen Carelse

Jeroen - Artist & Researcher of Consciousness

His lifelong mission-to make the world a more beautiful place-exists in art that explores spirituality, philosophy and consciousness. Through abstract-figurative paintings, he questions the nature of reality, inspired by visionary thinkers such as Thomas Campbell and Federico Faggin: Is consciousness the real raw material of existence?

Grounded
His work revolves around experimentation and dialogue. Using encaustic or acrylic paint, he translates concepts from the science of consciousness-such as the interaction between observer and reality-into visual narratives. His book The Consciousness Cookbook deepens these questions: How do we navigate authenticity in a reality that may be a consciousness simulation?

Themes that connect
In series such as Kama Sutra and Chakra, he explores intimacy as a gateway to universal connection, and quantum physics as a bridge between science and mysticism. For Jeroen, art is not decoration, but an invitation to self-reflection.
