Pee-Jay Czifra

Dutch contemporary artist Pee-Jay Czifra is an autodidact artist and founder of design company HippeShit013 in his home town of Tilburg.

While battling a difficult fight with cancer at the age of 36, he uncovered his lost passion for creating art. Along the way, he used painting, and new-found creativity to his benefit. It became his own personal therapy, his path to healing.

Pee-Jay, a well-known artist in his home country of the Netherlands, designed shoes for Mascolori Schoes, an exclusive Dutch designer shoe company, and created a massive mural (350m2 or 3,768 ft2) for “Jantje Beton”, a national organization promoting play facilities for youth in urban areas: “Never Stop Playing”. This mural was revealed by Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands in 2018.

Pee-Jay gave up life’s certainties in supporting his family when he quit his job at the Department of Justice; a job he held for 17 years. With the full support of his family behind him, he is now focussing on his 2nd chance in life. Learning new techniques, finding his style, and most of all: creating art from the heart.

With an irresistible urge to paint, Pee-Jay inhales inspiration and exhales creativity.

“I want to welcome you to my work, my journey, my life after cancer.”
