VAN ACKER

Transmatierism

Every human being is born with a pure essence. I believe we are all "chosen ones," endowed with an inner light just waiting to be expressed. Yet, from our very first steps in the world, this light clashes with external shadows: conditioning, pain, invisible or blatant violence. This dialogue between inner being and external madness is the central theme of my work.

Journey

Artist of the Universal

 

Born into a family of musical artists, I felt the urge to create very early on—through drawing, sculpture, and form. Yet, this potential was long stifled by a restrictive educational framework, preventing me from practicing my innate talent. As a teenager, I drew my rebellion: free-spirited figures, marked by the influence of Kandinsky.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At 19, I chose freedom. I left home, financed my studies, explored other worlds: entrepreneurship, travels in Asia and the United States, and later, a dive into psychology, validated by a Master's degree.

But I miss art. For the past few years, I've been returning to it. Five years at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium gave me back the creative space I was waiting for: a place of truth, of substance, of depth. Today, I'm shaping a visual language that blends painting, sculpture, and inner exploration.

I was born an artist, but life has sculpted my medium. My work connects what the world tries to separate, just as I was separated from my own path. A free journey, multiple cultures, an inner quest: my art is a journey through the transformation of the self.

“We come into the world carrying a unique light. Evil does not reside within us, but in what tries to extinguish us.”

SOME WORKS...

My canvases are never flat: they bear reliefs, scars, sculpted modules integrated into the surface. They embody layers of memory, blockages, mental constructs imposed by the environment. Conversely, painting—oil or acrylic—always seeks an opening, a passage, a redemption.

I paint to highlight this inner conflict: preserving who we are despite what the world projects onto us.
