Maarten De Naeyer

Biography

Born 1992 in Leuven which is still to this day his home, Maarten De Naeyer, makes abstract graphic works that are the result of a constant experimentation with shapes and textures. After obtaining his masters degree in graphic design in 2015, Maarten developed his own unique way of working by experimenting in his studio. Inspired by linocuts, he cuts abstract compositions from texture-rich material and then transfers them to different materials using printer's ink. Interesting and accidental textures are created by manually pressing these stencils. He developed this technique out of the need to escape the digital world in which he finds himself daily as a graphic designer.
