ABOUT NEMO JANTZEN
(b. 1970, The Hague)

A Lifetime Immersed in Art and Shaped by Artistic Legacy
​
Nemo Jantzen's artistic destiny was shaped from childhood in the vibrant studio of his uncle, Johnn Bakker - the celebrated Dutch comic artist behind Pep magazine's iconic 1960s superhero parody Blook and the modernist Dante adaptation Dan Teal. Surrounded by bold inked lines and pop-art energy, young Nemo absorbed the power of visual storytelling from one of The Hague's most creative minds. From the ink-stained floors of his uncle's studio to the sun-drenched walls of his Barcelona atelier, Nemo Jantzen's life has been a continuous dialogue between artistic heritage and bold innovation.

​
The power of bold graphic storytelling
