Farasyn received an artistic education at the Academy in Antwerp under Nicaise de Keyser. In 1885 he became a teacher there himself. In 1891 he was a founding member of the group "De XIII" and a member of the art circle "Weest U Zelve" to promote Flemish influence on art. He initially painted children's scenes, but from 1885 onwards he switched to painting in the open air. His field of work was mainly in Antwerp, where he painted many city scenes and in the old fish market. His early works have a realistic style. They are grey and gloomy and bathed in an austere atmosphere. He then switched to a subtle representation of light and a brighter use of colour. Attracted by the sea, he also stayed regularly in Oostduinkerke, where he painted many realistic scenes from the lives of fishermen, horse fishermen and their families. (Source: Wikipedia)
