He won his first art prize at the age of 12, at an international exhibition of children's drawings in Brazil.
Spending time during his youth in South America remained a lifelong source of inspiration.
A 1975 major exhibition of his work in Apeldoorn was opened by Veltman's friend, the native-Dordrecht poet C.
