- 'Art is an emotional passionate way of life' -

I have been busy with pencil and paper since my childhood years. Drawing cartoons, copying patiently every comic of 'Storm' ( for example ), making my own ones ... any free time went into being 'artistic'.

During my teenage years I discovered the 'computer' and I stopped almost completely with drawing - I got fascinated by those 'bits and bytes' which resulted in a degree in computer science and lots of hours working with graphical software ( designing games for example ).

Since I was a teenage kid I had been dreaming about going to the 'academy' and to become a 'real artist' but life directed it otherwise ...

My 'career' as an IT consultant went very well but it meant that I didn't had any time nor interest to follow 'artistic' courses ...

The 'artistic feeling' and 'urge to paint' never went quite away and so I made the decision to start an evening course at the 'Royal Academy of Art' in Antwerp (Belgium) which would give me a master degree in 'Painting'.

From the moment I entered the classroom and smelled the paint I knew this was what I always wanted to do ...

After 4 years of courses at the Academy I graduated in 2002 ... a fine conclusion of an experience that changed my life dramatically ... going to the Academy and meeting all those different kind of people (and minds) changed my vision of life ... in a positive way!

Since 2003 I bundled my IT experience in my own little company called "Sedacrivity", offering IT consultancy to large organizations ... Being independent gives me more freedom to be busy with art whenever I want ... or at least that was the idea :p

Since 2007 I have been mainly experimenting with digital art ... somehow this medium seems to be an ideal combination of my computer & artistic capabilities. It sure ain't easy and it is a strugle on trying to achieve 'traditional' results in a ditigal way ...

I am still very busy with my consultancy firm but I try to find some time to be 'artistic' ... either traditional or digital ...
