I do, I had to write one for my Blurb book at University. It's a bit out-dated now though...

Also, I'd share mine but.... its not created yet! :)

My artist statement hasn't changed since it was published in the 1979 MFA catalog at SFAI:

"My work is influenced by everyone and everything I come into contact with daily."

Kunst heeft altijd een belangrijke rol gespeeld in het leven van Ruud Janssen. Op 17-jarige leeftijd koos hij echter niet voor een kunstacademie, maar een studie Natuurkunde. Ontdekken hoe alles in elkaar zit en de samenhang van de dingen zien. De kunst geeft hem echter de vrijheid om andere samenhangen te zien. Is een boom een levend wezen, is een mens een plant, is een gezicht een gebouw bewoont door ogen en lichaamdelen? Deze verbindingen zijn typisch voor de werken van Ruud Janssen. Ze zijn spontaan en impulsief gemaakt, wisselend van inkt op papier tot acrylverf op doek.

(written in Dutch for an art catalogue 2005 where I exhibited some of my acrylic paintings)

translated by Google:

Art has always played an important role in the life of Ruud Janssen. At the age of 17, however, he chose not to an art school, but a physics study. Discover how everything fits together and see the coherence of things. The art, however, gives him the freedom to see other contexts. Is a tree a living being, a man is a plant, a face occupies a building by eyes and body parts? These compounds are typical for the works of Ruud Janssen. They are made spontaneous and impulsive, varying from ink on paper to acrylic paint on canvas.
