In his long career as a painter, Guy Van den Bulcke (°Antwerp 1931) is always looking for the sublime in nature. That nature is therefore prominent on a large part of his canvases. Humans appear in and next to these landscapes: men, but especially women from all continents. He often adds abstract fragments. Guy's works are flawlessly painted in a very personal style. Hundreds of thousands of visitors have already admired his paintings, in exhibitions and exhibitions in Europe and the US and at the last three Venice Art Biennales.

For Guy Van den Bulcke (°Antwerp 1931), the importance of painting is linked to the meaning of our existence, but also to our insignificance in relation to nature and the cosmos. Fascinated by oil paint and canvas, he has been investigating the creation of images for decades with the aim of penetrating deeper into the reality around us. The tradition of painting offers him an adequate response to the complexity that the world faces today. This artist synthesizes styles. He has developed a grammar of painting with some elements of surrealism, pop art and hyperrealism, but this does not imply easy categorization. Moreover, he can be classified as both abstract painters and realists. Parts of his paintings are meticulously rendered, with unique virtuosity and meticulous detail, while other parts are painted in a more abstract manner. The artist provides the images he derives from reality with his own stamp. He shapes his realism through a distinctive choice of image, composition, framing, shape and color. His figurative tableaus are based both on photos he took during his intercontinental travels and on existing photos that he distorts and interprets.
