Willem Haenraets was born in Heerlen, on October 9, 1940.
At the age of 16 he enrolled at the City Academy of Maastricht.
Four years later he won a grant from the Belgian government to study at the National Higher Institute in Antwerp, in the Master Class of Professor Sarina (Atelier Opsomer) and Professor Vaarten.
In his impressionist paintings he often uses abstraction and figuration.
Atmosphere is created through colors, light, surfaces, and lines. The abstract element always remains, even if the canvas is figurative. Inspiration is drawn from the environment, travel, nature, and people.
Willem Haenraets has had exhibitions in Maastricht, Amsterdam, Bruges, Frankfurt, Milan, Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Nagoya and Hondon de las Nieves.
