Our Artists
Many of you know that Madison Art offers an array of internal studio artists, and that we are capable of creating most visions. Did you also know that we actively connect and collaborate with our surrounding community of artists?
Our commitment to artists ensures that we not only support local communities, but that we do our part to help cities outside of our own. This connectivity also allows us to continuously deliver what our clients need – whether it’s through our house artists or through working side by side with emerging and established artists.

JACOB BERGHOEF
We are proud to partner with Dutch photographer Jacob Berghoef. His unique visual style is a tremendous aide to the work we do.
Jacob’s Bio:
I am a self taught fine art photographer, with extensive experience in analog photography, developing and printing in my own darkroom, as well as working with digital cameras.
At the age of twelve, my father gave me my first camera. It was his old camera, an Agfa Click I. Thus he could prevent that I, especially during holidays, continuously asked him to allow me to take a photo with his camera. I still have that Agfa Click I, and a few of the first photos I made with it …
At the age of sixteen I bought my first SLR (Single-lens reflex) camera, at the age of seventeen I wanted to learn to develop and print my own black and white films. Since I didn’t have the money to buy an enlarger, I built one myself of wood and used the lens of my camera.
Since 2014, after quitting a demanding job in facilities management and real estate, I focused on simple, natural and sustainable living. This new way of living is reflected in my work; I am exploring the simpleness and the stillness of pure, natural environments with my camera.
I was born in the city of Gouda, the Netherlands in 1959. I currently live with my wife and dog in a small farmhouse in the Thy region in North West Jutland, Denmark. The special (nordic) light and colors in this coastal area inspired me to develop my current style. My photographs are being exhibited around the world and have been sold to collectors and art lovers in various countries.
