Floris Jespers
Antwerp 1889 – 1965
Belgian Painter
"Yellow Tulips"
In the painting "Yellow Tulips," Floris Jespers showcases his Fauvist prowess, breaking free from representational norms to engage in a vibrant dance of brilliant colors. This early 20th-century masterpiece transcends the confines of Impressionist realism, beckoning viewers into a world where petals pulsate with rhythmic energy. Within this timeless dialogue between artist and observer, Jespers immortalizes not just the transient beauty of flowers, but also the enduring emotions they evoke.

Biography: Floris Jespers was a versatile Belgian artist born into an artistic family in Antwerp on March 18 in 1889. He excelled as a painter, graphic artist, sculptor, and cellist. Alongside his brother Oscar, Jespers explored various art forms and earned a living through music before focusing on visual arts. His encounter with Paul van Ostaijen in 1915 marked a pivotal moment, leading to the formation of a modernist group in Belgium.
Jespers experimented with diverse styles, from impressionism to cubism, influenced by artists like Rik Wouters and the avant-garde movement. His works during World War I showcased a shift from constructivism to fauvism. In the 1920s, he joined prominent Flemish expressionists, producing notable pieces such as “Adam en Eva” and “Bonjour Ostend.”
The artist’s collaboration with Van Ostaijen extended to illustrated literary works. Despite disagreements, Jespers’ impact on the Belgian modernist scene was significant. He taught and continued to evolve as an artist. His influence expanded further during his stays in Knokke and, notably, Congo, where he found inspiration for a second phase in his career. In addition to paintings, Jespers created sculptures and monumental tapestry designs.
Throughout his artistic journey, Jespers maintained a distinct authenticity and originality in his paintings. He continued to evolve as an artist until his death on April 16, 1965, in his hometown, leaving behind a legacy of contributions to the Belgian modern art scene.
Today, his paintings are housed in both private and public collections. A retrospective in 2005 at Mu.ZEE honored his contributions to the Belgian modern art scene.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
