Original artwork description
Exploring the space between cartoon imagery and fine art
My work explores the space between playful, cartoon-like imagery and more serious painting. I enjoy blurring the boundaries between abstraction and figuration, allowing one to gradually emerge from the other.
Much of my inspiration comes from my background in animation and cartoon drawing. I often find myself adding what I like to call “noses” to abstract shapes, subtly transforming them into something that begins to resemble a cartoon character. Through small, carefully placed clues, I hint at the presence of a face, a nose, a pair of glasses… just enough for the viewer to sense something familiar without fully revealing it.
There is often a suggestion of landscape or environment, creating a kind of setting for these emerging characters.
These elements are essential to my creative process, yet I prefer to keep them understated and ambiguous. Rather than offering clear answers, I want to leave space for the viewer's imagination, inviting them to discover their own images, associations and interpretations within the work.
This painting is presented in a high-quality wooden frame, custom-made in Brussels by one of the city's finest framing specialists. The frame, valued at €400, is included in the total price.
