Maarten De Naeyer
Inspired by the linocut, Maarten De Naeyer experiments with form until composition and texture determine the image. By manually pressing on the ink, he creates emotionally charged structures, loose elements that he arranges into an organic balance.
He developed this tactile, intuitive technique to escape the limited, digital world in which he finds himself as a graphic designer on a daily basis.
