Ward Schepman
Uniting the World Through Art and Organic Oil Paintings
A Journey of Art, Culture, and Sustainability
Born in 1978 in Meerkerk, Ward Schepman was raised in a family of artists, surrounded by creativity from an early age. In 2005, he founded United Smile, a platform for cultural exchange through community art projects. His dedication to connecting people through art deepened in 2022 when he and his partner hosted Ukrainian refugees, inspiring a more profound artistic exploration of emotions, grief, and unity.
Today, Schepman is fully committed to his “United World in Diversity” project, an ambitious initiative where he creates a unique abstract painting for each of the world’s 196 countries. Every piece is inspired by a song from the respective country, immersing him in the culture as he paints. The entire process is recorded, transforming each creation into a mesmerizing time-lapse video, which viewers can experience in exhibitions via QR codes or live painting sessions.
