Welcome to Wards World

Come travel with me and discover the hidden treasures of this world. These treasures can be found in emotions, nature, music, culture and history. I capture them in my abstract paintings.

“Every canvas is a journey all its own. There are no rules. Let the picture lead you where it must go.”

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.

My mission

With his artwork he want to show the beauty of our world. Having a world with enormous diversity and all being interconnected with both nature and people.

My key focus

  • Abstract expression.
  • Cultural diversity.
  • Sustainability.

The Power of Organic Oil Paint in Art

 

That makes Schepman’s work truly stand out is his use of organic oil paint, made from natural pigments like minerals, plants, and earth-based materials. Unlike synthetic paints, organic pigments bring out richer, more vibrant textures and colors, making each piece authentic and deeply connected to nature.

Using locally sourced materials from each country, his paintings become more than just visual art—they are a multi-sensory experience, engaging viewers through both sight and scent. This approach not only enhances artistic authenticity but also emphasizes sustainability, encouraging awareness of our connection to nature.

Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

In an age where environmental consciousness is crucial, Schepman’s dedication to eco-friendly art practices sends a powerful message. By using 100% organic oil paints from Natural Earth Paint, he ensures that his work is both sustainable and ethically sourced. As an official sponsor, Natural Earth Paint supports his mission to create art that respects and preserves the planet.
