In 1963 Clemens completed his education at the Amsterdam Rijksakademie for Visual Arts. During an extra lodge year, he specialized in portraiture under the direction of the renowned portrait painter Sierk Schröder. Clemens is described in Pieter Scheen's Lexicon as an 'excellent portrait painter' and characterized as an impressionist. After the Rijksakademie many portrait commissions followed and he drew cityscapes for, for example, the Topographical Atlas of the City Archives. He also took part in various group exhibitions in, among others, Arti et Amicitiae, the Van Gogh Museum, Exposorium Vrije Universiteit and Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder in Amsterdam, Singer Laren and the Markiezenhof in Bergen op Zoom.
