Dirk De Keyzer

Born in 1958 in Sleidinge, near Ghent in Eastern Flanders, Dirk de Keyzer studied at the Royal Academy of Eeklo.

He traces his own path in the world of art and came to fame in the field of bronze sculpture, which led him to win the "Galerie et Artistes" prize in the late 80's.

Dirk De Keyzer's work has the peculiarity of recalling brief magical moments where the bodies and faces of his dynamically painted characters, come to life. The fantasy world that he has created is animated by gorgeous women, eccentric looking men, jugglers, ballerinas, knights and travelers, surprised by their daily activities in their extraordinary universe.

Dirk de Keyzer's creation is a portrayal of humor and simplicity. His imaginative characters are unique, extraordinary and wonderfully magical.
