Outdoor Sculptures
Transparency
My first large piece of work based on an organic form that provides a natural elegance. The colored discs bring cheerfulness and playfulness to the work. The ever-changing sunlight keeps the sculpture in "motion." The iron will "live" over time under the influence of rust. It will oxidize to the beautiful orange-red.
Above all, I want to convey a sense of warmth with this sculpture.
Dimensions: heigth 2.10m - width: 1.10m
This sculpture was one of the winners of the National Expo 2022. During the period December 2022 and January 2023 it was exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp.
Translucency
With "Translucensy," the follow-up to "Transparency" is a reality. Colors are also essential in this work. They bring cheerfulness, playfulness and warmth to the organic forms of the sculpture. The sun can shine on this to its heart's content and will provide ever-changing light.
Again, over time the steel will rust and take on a life of its own.
Resurrection
Traveller
"Traveller" Gedicht: Lien Franssens
Is net zoals de rest een verteller
Het verhaal van vreugde en speelsheid
gaan mee doorheen de tijd
Verlicht door het zonlicht
is er beweging in het zicht
Gemengd met ijzer
zo wordt de roest Keizer
Het roest vergroot
naar het prachtige oranjerood.
Following Intuition
"Following Intuition" emerges from the fusion of Corten steel and stainless steel bars, a harmonious marriage of rugged strength and sleek elegance. In its form, there lies a subtle dance between the raw, weathered texture of Cortensteel and the polished precision of stainless steel. Each element plays its part in a symphony of contrasts, symbolizing the complex interplay between intuition and reason.
The true meaning of "following intuition" lies in recognizing that there are insights and wisdom within oneself that go beyond conscious thought or analysis. It's about listening to that inner voice, that subtle feeling or sense of direction, and allowing it to guide actions and choices.
Burst of Joy
The Three Kings
Beacons of Hope
"Beacons of Hope" rises as a fusion of steel and light, a sculpture that elevates the soul and embodies the inexhaustible power of hope. The work has the stretched elegance of an obelisk, but with a unique, organic form that exudes growth, energy and resilience. At the top, the metal unfolds like the chalice of a flower, revealing a warm, transparent spire - a flame of light that dispels shadows and colors the horizon with hope.
Beacons of Hope testifies that, even in times of darkness, the future unfolds for those who dare to see. It urges the spirit to dream without limits, believe without fear and welcome the unknown with an open heart.
The 'Peace' in the Storm
"The Peace in the Storm"
The storm rages over the sea, a primal force that raises waves to mountains and breaks them foaming. The wind howls like a beast, dragging everything into a churning maelstrom.
But in the midst of that violence glows a colorful disc-a beacon of calm. Like the sun through breaking clouds, it shines like a silent heart in the storm.
The work embodies resilience, the stillness that no storm can break.
The true power of "The Peace in the Storm" lies in the peace we find in the midst of chaos.
