His career saw him active in various locations, including The Hague, Amsterdam, Maastricht, Antwerp, Leeuwarden, and Bergen op Zoom. In 1660, he was admitted to the Confrerie Pictura.
Biltius married Adriana Proot van der Jeucht in 1653, and they had eight children, including two sons, Cornelis and Bartholomeus, who both became painters. His movements took him from Amsterdam to Maastricht, and eventually to Flanders, where he settled in Antwerp.
