Bram van Velde started working at the age of twelve for a home-furnishings company to meet his family's needs. He was a natural talent, copying the old masters from an early age and decorating furniture and lampshades for his firm. His employer noticed his great talent and encouraged him to develop further. Bram van Velde studied at the painting and decoration studio Van Schaijk. Lives and works in France Bram van Velde moved to Germany and settled in the artist colony Worpswede.
