Jean-Marie HEYLIGEN

A painter, engraver and sculptor, Jean-Marie Heyligen first became interested in the female anatomy, which he eventually synthesised into floating forms in bold colours. Unable to express himself through words, it is through plastic representation that he forges a link with others. His inventive woodcarving is adorned with second-hand finds, which he recycles into knight's armour or Indian hair. Jean-Marie Heyligen has been active in the arts workshop at the Centre André Livémont since 1981.
