artist/ Wouters Willem

Belgique

WILLEM WOUTERS (1984) is a Belgian based architect who creates art objects in resin. The way he
approaches the design of his art is similar to his architectural work.
Willem spent years experimenting with the technical properties of the material to turn his creative ideas
into reality, resulting in a unique production process. His work expresses an architectural approach to
shapes, textures and colors releasing different images through reflection of light.
His minimalistic approach is not only visible in the concept, but also in the use of materials. Only resin
is used, without the addition of other materials, resulting in handmade and unique pieces.
Willem Wouters studied architecture at the Catholic University of Leuven (KUL) – Faculty of Architecture
in Ghent and at the International University of Catalonia (UIC) in Barcelona. After graduating, he moved
to Paris where he gained experience at renowned international architectural firms for 8 years. He
returned to Belgium in 2015 to carry out large-scale projects for a well-known Belgian architectural firm.
Driven by passion, he has been focused on creating his own work ever since.
