Award at University of Leuven

In 2011, the University of Leuven was looking for an artwork that would appeal to the students and be fully integrated in their new building, designed by famous Belgian architect Jo Crepain.

My proposal for a 20m x 2m wall drawing was awarded as one of three winners. I used 40 water-resistant and light-fast markers, and made the drawing in 7 days.

At the opening reception I was handed the prize from the council member for culture of the city of Leuven.
The art-work can be seen at Herestraat 49, Leuven / Belgium.

Basic parts

There is a tattoo on my left shoulder representing a merger of the four basic shapes (rectangle, triangle, square and circle): the basic parts mostly used in architecture and in my work.

I have the tattoo since I was 19, but it has become my signature (you can see it quite well here) since my journey through Japan in 2010: the Japanese use small stamps for their calligraphy.
