Herman
Since childhood, Herman has had a real passion for drawing and painting.
After acquiring a solid foundation in graphic design, he joined the Plastic Arts at the Pie-X Institute and the Sint Lucas Paviljoen in Antwerp to deepen his expertise.
He never parted with his brushes and began exhibiting his works in 1994, demonstrating his artistic commitment.
An unconditional lover of Provence, particularly Vaucluse, he left Belgium to set up his easel there, letting himself be seduced and inspired by the works of great painters, captivated by the richness of the colors, the beauty of the landscapes and the unparalleled luminosity of this region.
