Veks Van Hillik:
Born in the Dordogne, a region steeped in medieval legends, prehistoric tales and local myths, Veks Van Hillik grew up surrounded by the whispers of nature and ancestral stories. From an early age, he was enchanted by this rich, mysterious universe, sketching the fauna, flora and fantastic shadows that surrounded him. This heritage has given rise to a singular imagination: a hybrid bestiary, populated by dreamlike, surreal creatures, half-human, half-animal, that both question and amaze.
His works, oscillating between gravity and playfulness, explore the mysteries of humanity, our vanities, our beliefs and our anxieties, all the while distilling a sparkle of irreverence. Inspired by the Flemish primitives and nourished by a taste for classical aesthetics, Veks Van Hillik transforms each canvas into a fabulous story: strange tales where myths rub shoulders with poetry and modern ecological reflections. Since his first exhibitions in 2010, his work has crossed borders, from Rome to New York, from Melbourne to Paris, and his monumental imprint adorns the walls of cities such as Grenoble and Paris. A veritable alchemist of the imaginary, he invites us into his cabinet of curiosities, where every detail is a doorway to dreams.
