„I am an artist and being black. I find it my duty, since I have a gift to create, to create with a purpose…“

Born on Curaçao (Dutch Antilles) of Surinamese parents, Quintus Jan Telting was introduced to the world of art at an early age by his father, Govert Jan Telting, who was one of the most prominent painters of Surinam.

Quintus Jan Telting worked all over the globe but mainly in Amsterdam, New York, Ibiza and Goa. He visited numerous art/music schools and therefore received many different cultural and social impressions. Consequently he aimed on evolving, redefining, improving and – above all – contributing ever more of his visionary art and strong messages.

Quintus Jan Telting became a great and formative master of contemporary art, and was as well a gifted musician, philosopher, a passionate free spirit, humanitarian and political activist.

It should take him almost four entire decades to complete his stylebending metamorphosis. His outstanding heritage was an essential contribution to overcoming racial, cultural and social barriers and made him a momentous visionary, pioneer and ambassador of our global society today.
