Krijnen lives in the city of Haarlem and is internationally represented by the gallery Reuten Galerie in Amsterdam, studio1.1 in London and the gallery Very Up & Co in New York.

One of his art projects was around Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer, a legendary brave female folk hero in the history of the town.

In 2015, Cees participated with two photographic works in the exhibition O Muse! in De Hallen, the annex for modern art of the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem.

In 2018 appears an autobiography and a graphic novel on his life and works as artist.
