Jan Theuninck (born 7 June 1954) is a Belgian painter and poet. He was born in Zonnebeke, Belgium. Even though his first language is Dutch, he mostly writes his poems in French and sometimes in English. His paintings are abstract, which means they don't show real-life things exactly as they are. His style is a mix of very simple art (minimalism) and art that shows strong feelings through colors and shapes (expressionism).
