Jaco Putker is a contemporary artist and printmaker from The Hague, The Netherlands. He combines digital and traditional techniques to produce images which are both playful, nostalgic and magical. His preferred medium is photopolymer and etching, which allow for photo realistic depictions. Rather than impose a meaning to his work, Putker invites viewers to freely gain individual perceptions on his etchings. He considers his works to be illustrations to fables which do not exist, but take shape in the viewers' minds.

Putker's work has been exhibited in Holland, Belgium, Germany, Norway, Northern Ireland, Croatia, Bulgaria, Japan, Taiwan, China, Australia, Canada and the USA. He was awarded at the Dutch National Business Art Service competition for Graphic Arts in 2010. He won the Awagami Paper Factory Prize at the Awagami International Miniature Print Exhibition in both 2015 and 2017, and won the ON PAPER International Printmaking Award 2017.
