Luc Tuymans

Luc Tuymans (born in Mortsel, Belgium in 1958) is a Belgian contemporary artist, considered one of today's most influential painters. He began to study fine art in 1976.

Tuymans' work is figurative and makes extensive use of techniques from photography, television and film, such as cropping, framing, sequencing and close-ups. Subjects of his paintings are sometimes historic, for example covering the Holocaust or colonial politics in Belgian Congo, sometimes very banal, depicting everyday objects. Some of his paintings represent abstract emotions.

The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from the existing paintings.h
