• Music is always a powerful source of inspisration for Jacques Van Den Abeele.
• Art, for Van den Abeele, is above all a quest towards the essential foundations of existence, moving towards what lies behind appearances: feelings, emotions, fears. The body, posture, movement and essence of human life are at the heart of the work of Jacques Van den Abeele. His sculptures thus allow us to see the fragility and transience of life, like the ephemeral sound of a note of music which, barely heard, already fades and disappears ...
• Jacques Van Den Abeele plays on volumes and voids to give power and mystery to his musicians or animals and to stimulate the public's imagination. But the "non-present" is as important as the present so Matter and Void alternate like a pause between notes: Sound and Silence. The artist enables each statue to express, above and beyond its appearance, sensitivity, emotion and innermost fears. The absence of matter thus shows itself to be as expressive as the matter itself. It is in the material and in the reality of things that Jacques Van Den Abeele draws his inspiration and his determination to reveal the profundity and the precariousness of life.
• Jacques Van den Abeele was born in 1960 in Belgium.
• It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of this renowned Belgian artist sculptor in May 2023. His contributions to the world of art have been unique and his legacy will continue to inspire generations of artists to come.
• Jacques Van Den Abeele illustrates the passion of music, mixing a profound fusion in the sound and mouvement. The sculptor takes us to a journey, and to different instruments of the world. The way in which he portrayed this musician touches perfection. The artist succeeded into represent through their posture the state of tension, relaxation and elegance that his players.
• Each edition is a truly unique piece, distinct from the others, as each is individually created in a personal way by the artist from scratch without the use of a mold. The process of creating each unique edition, from wax to bronze, takes 10 months.

• He was graduated at the Oudenaarde Fine Arts Academy and received the Belgium Government Medal for Decorative Arts and Sculpture. He also graduated in Drawing (living models) at the Saint Lucas Academy in Gent.
• Jacques Van Den Abeele began his career making sculptures in marble and in alabaster. In 1980, he discovered and experimented with techniques of bronze while seeking the refinement of still greater harmony of shapes. A technique perfected by the artist and his personal concept gave birth to an art that fully highlights his theory on purification of forms.
• Jacques Van Den Abeele won several awards and his sculptures have been purchased by museums, municipalities, councils and private collectors in Europe.
