The essence of the picture compositions by Jan Paul Evers is based on the theme itself and a comprehensive work process takes shape in the darkroom. His photographs of architecture, landscapes, people and everyday objects are subjected to a multi-layer transformation process which converts the original theme as the starting point into a new picture form, thereby creating a unique piece.

In his work, Jan Paul Evers focuses on exploring the technical possibilities of analogue black & white photography. Starting with a photograph, he applies an effective use of greyscale based on a complex darkroom process to extract new and partially abstract picture forms through the interplay of light and shade, the use of templates and the inclusion of experimental techniques and these then take form through his approach to space.
