Without extra schooling I will not get much better than I am now

Paintings by Hans Mozer

My name is Hans Mozer and am 60 years.

I only started to paint seriously after I’ve been back from an eleven year short adventure in Benidorm, Spain(1993-2004). With hard work every night (even Christmas and new year) as bar owner, singer/entertainer in clubs and bars and as a songwriter at daytime.
Due to health problems of my wife we returned back to Holland.


1992 I painted my first few painting and made some sculptures.
From 2006 I worked with oilpaint only.

September 2016 I cut off the thumb of my preference hand. I’m a lefty. Fast surgery saved my thumb, but it has become static, almost impossible to write, draw or paint.

I started to Paint with no schooling and hardly any money

Paintings by Hans Mozer

My name is Hans Mozer (©Hamo) and i am 60 years.

I never had a chance to do much painting because of the life i led.
At 18 in the Militaries and a baby. No chance of an art education.

My first painting was made in 1985, but i had too little free time. In 1992 i moved to Spain an worked as a singer/entertainer at night and in daytime advertisment-artist on shops, cafés and cars.

Then i made some more pictures. After 2 accidents and my wife’s disease we had to return in 2003 to Holland. Working as an advertisement-artist was no longer possible for me. This is when i started to Paint, and sculpting, with no schooling and hardly any money. I had to be frugal with my materials. After selling some portraits i decided to work non commercial. Most paintings i keep in my house some with family. …
