He also paints landscapes, figures, portraits and still lifes. His style is post-impressionist. From the press: 'J.V.C., who has always been very successful as a watercolorist, has recently switched more and more to oil paint. Nevertheless, as a watercolorist he continues to find his subjects mainly in the harbor, while his paintings focus on the human theme', (1994) and 'J.V.C. sometimes brings very romantic canvases with flesh-colored tenderness, while on the other hand there are canvases with a strong color palette that you hold onto,' (1997) and 'The paintings of J.V.C. possess an enormous power to create atmosphere and often give an impression of a specific moment.; both in oil and watercolor he often paints harbor views, landscapes and still lifes that are recognizable by his extremely sober and direct style of painting. He uses a 'misty', transparent brushstroke that evokes an unprecedented atmosphere of intimacy.'(2005) (Piron)
