A Life Between Sea and Canvas
Robert Geenens was a Belgian painter, graphic artist, and designer of theater sets and murals. Born in Ghent, he spent much of his life traveling the world as an officer on merchant ships, including the vessel L'Avenir and ships of the Compagnie Maritime Belge. During the First World War, he spent time in the Netherlands, where he had the opportunity to study at the Rotterdam Academy of Art. Following the war, he studied at the Academy in Ghent before returning to the sea. In 1930, he ended his career as a long-distance officer to dedicate himself entirely to art, eventually settling in Antwerp.
