My Studio in Braives

Very messy, I know. This is where I paint and create all kind of stuff. This studio is located in Braives, Belgium. The above photos have been shot with the Samsung NX11, provided by Samsung Electronics. Co., Ltd.

Sebastian Kruger
at Work

Two photos I took during an international Sebastian Kruger workshop a couple of years ago. He was making a fast painting/caricature of Richard Wagner. See more photos of this event at this link.

And here is Sebastian's website.

Caricature Workshop
.

I recently attended Jan Op De Beeck's Caricature Workshop at the European Cartoon Center (ECC) in Kruishoutem, Belgium. Here are some pictures of this event, followed by Jan's biography and a sample of his graphic work. Jan is a renowned Belgian master caricaturist.

A Cartoon Becomes
a Painting...

I was recently contacted by Guillermo Soria, an Argentinian artist, who organized a workshop in Barcelona (Spain) which purpose was to create art against war. He and his teamwork realized a spray painting (about 2m high, 6m wide) based on one of my previous drawings. The result is quite astounding and so powerful. Many thanks and congratulations to the painting's authors.

Also check out the creations of the workshop's other organizer, the Colombian Cecilia Zamudio
