Michaël van Craelingen

As an artist with a background in industrial and product design, my journey began with creating functional objects but has evolved into exploring contemporary art's intangible and abstract aspects. My experience in industrial design instilled a deep understanding of form, function, and aesthetics, which continue to influence my conceptual and liberated work. My paintings, sculptures, and installations focus on the essence of form, color, and material, often employing a minimalist yet inviting approach.

I am captivated by the beauty in simplicity, exploring the dialogue between space and form, and color and void. Each piece challenges viewers to slow down and contemplate deeply. My latest series, which simplifies and abstracts iconic chair designs, reflects my passion for design and artistic freedom, encouraging a reconsideration of familiar forms. Continuously evolving, I strive to push creative boundaries and invite you to join me in discovering beauty in the simple and complex.
