He paints imaginative, figurative paintings with a mix of influences going from symbolism, surrealism, classicism and allegoric art. He also paints realistic, symbolic portraits and still life¹s. The fineness and the precision of the paintings are enhanced by the richness of colors and hues, allowing the artist to express some of his passions, such as life, nature, humanism and politics. The whole of his work is meant to be a celebration of life. To the more careful observer Kees Thijn loves to show fine composite and complex images, with hidden details and compositions revealing a secondary symbolism, which remains forever vivid.

His works have been acquired by museums such as the Drents Museum (Assen, NL), Museum ³Het Markiezenhof²(Bergen op Zoom, NL), Stedelijk Museum (Zwolle, NL), the University Medical Centre (Groningen, NL) and by many corporate and private collectors in the Netherlands and abroad.
