He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, first the drawing class and then the painting class of Baron Isidoor Opsomer.

With the outbreak of the First World War, he left The Hague, Amsterdam and Edam to eventually settle in Veere together with Dick Koets. His oeuvre consists of landscapes, cityscapes, fishermen's portraits and still lives in a naturalistic style. He was a painter, draftsman, watercolorist and wood engraver. His work is characterized by a beautiful warm use of color. In the early 1920s he was influenced by the neo-impressionism of Jan Toorop, whom he must have met. In 2003, the Museum 'De Schotse huizen' in Veere organized an exhibition about Van Dijck. This piece has an attribution mark,
