Born in 1984, Friso de Hartog is a multi-disciplinary artist with a love for biology in general and the rainforest in particular. His love for the the forests made him think of ways to help prevent their destruction. As a solution he started this platform: Paint for Planet.

He uses a variety of techniques from oil paint, and acrylics to digital photo manipulation to make his pictures.
Recently, his work has featured many planets and planetoids, in line with his mission to protect an ever growing piece of untouched planet from being lost.
