Artist, Belgian, born 1958

The artwork features abstract shapes with soft, swirling lines that create the form of a skull. The blending of light and shadow gives it an ethereal appearance, as if the skull is emerging from a mist. The composition is minimalistic, with a muted color palette that emphasizes the contours and hollow eyes of the skull, resembling anatomical structures in an abstract manner.
