Read MoreEngineer by training, I have created and managed several small companies
in Belgium, France, Canada, Mali, Seychelles. My 40-years professional career
has not left me much time to express my artistic creativity. Nevertheless, I
have taken advantage of my many trips around the world to discover various
cultures and feed my desire for artistic expression over time. Today, after a
recent 6-year stay in the Seychelles during which I spent a long time with
Creole artists, my artistic sense has been sharpened, probably also thanks to a
paradisiacal living environment.
Back in Belgium, I decided to reorient my activities and become an
artist-entrepreneur. I still have some engineering activities because I want to
be able to pass on my know-how to the younger generation. But I finally give
free rein to my artistic creativity.
It weaves its way
through a multitude of environments: sometimes chance helps to disperse the
colors on the canvases, sometimes my past as a Cartesian engineer guides my
brushes. Sometimes my inspiration finds its source in episodes or anecdotes
from the contemporary world or in the folk traditions of my country. This
eclectic creativity is nourished by abstract as well as geometric shapes. In
addition, I also explore new spaces by combining art and technology. This is
how paintings integrating 3D objects are born.
3D modeling and 3D
printing are the techniques that I master perfectly.
The major themes of
current events, folklore, beauty and the aesthetics of bodies feed my
inspiration.
