He mainly makes his sculptures of found objects such as books, canvas, metal and cement, but some of his paintings also employ these techniques.In his earlier years, he owned a gallery in Antwerpen, Belgium and travelling alone to execute this, was also one of his scariest moments, he confessed.The themes he enjoys exploring are fairy tales, mythologies and current events.
