about my work
The most important activity during our lives is "moving things". People are constantly moving food, material, ideas, people and some time later, repositions those elements into new shapes, forms, ideas, environment...
Thus is my concept of "art"... On the move, transportable, displacable, replacable, transposable, transferable, translatable, carrying...
Rough stones, I dismantle the unneeded parts, the excess of weight and use these parts I create new volumes, new forms (see "Complementariteit")...
Tubes become drawings, designs or creations in space (see "Cycle")…..and the waste , I re-shape into new messages, stories and ideas (see "The 7 works of charity").
I find inspiration in nature, normal life, forms, ways of behaving, people's confrontation with society, religion, politics.
Sculpture is in the first place a challenge with "material" and how "material" behaves in space and the universe.
Playing with volumes and emptiness, light and shadow.
Stone:
I have a love/hate relationship with "stone".
The moment I make the first cut in the stone and my fingers and skin are covered with a dust layer, the day I do not feel my fingertips any longer due to the polishing of the stone, I often ask myself ..."what am I doing?"
But when I caress the polished surface soft as a babies skin, I look forward to the next challenge.
The starting point is figurative, the final result is a far driven style concept. I want my sculptures to be touched, to be caressed, to match a sensual experience.
Metal:
My first work in metal found its roots in a overveined, decomposed Chinese lantern. (see Sferen city hall of Kortrijk).
Now I strive for the definition of emptiness, how do you outline emptiness?
As to the shapes and forms, inspiration comes from DNA, all is possible...
So are my shapes and my creations.
Mixed Media:
The inspiration of those works is to be found in our own close society. Conflicts within political and religious groups, changing behaviour, discoveries in science, etc...
Some of my works are made of wasted material.
The moment I notice an abundance of the same material, it get stored in my mind and becomes a source of creativity (see "The 7 works of Charity").
Admired artists:
The artists I admire all have contributed (and some still do), willing or not, to my actual form of Art.
They compose the ingredients for the matrix of my work.
E.g.: Isamu Noguchi, Brancusi, Moore, David, Magritte, Jeroen Bosch, Raffaël, Keith Haring, Pei, Wright, Gehry, Alvar Aalto, Starck, Alexander McQueen, Issey Miyake and many others.
