As a student at "La Cambre" in the "Department of Visual and Graphic Communication" under the guidance of professors Luc Van Malderen and Anne Van Loock, who holds a significant connection as a child model of René Magritte, I was immersed in a multidisciplinary approach to visual arts.
The program emphasized qualities such as critical thinking, personal authenticity, social consciousness, and a focus on the tangible aspects of our environment, shaping our understanding of art and design within broader societal contexts.
More precisely, France Borel, Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Letters, Novelist, Art Critic, Professor of Art History 1992 - 2002, - Director of the National School of Visual Arts of "La Cambre" in Brussels (in 1995), studies the theme, the artists, and their models, as it has been represented in painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography over the last 100 years and the origins are partly in the "Paleolithic Age" (Stone Age) with fascinating "Venus figurines" as an example the “Venus of Willendorf” dated 30,000 BCE.
France Borel's meticulous approach to educating on this historical context offers a captivating perspective to delve into the intricate relationship and fluid dynamics between creative artists and their muses across enduring art history.
By providing a nuanced look at this connection, Borel enriches our understanding of the creative process and the profound influence that artists' muses have had on artistic expressions throughout the ages.
France Borel's book "The Seduction of Venus: Artists and their Models" explores the relationship between artists and their muses in the creation of art. The thematic subject is intended to elicit aesthetic responses from both the artist and their models, underscoring the significance of reflecting on one's medium and its historical context in artistic production.
This specific subject of France Borel was the starting point for creating my first Venus figurine. It became my little muse, as a beloved new subject-object, with a smile of a
female face composed of a part of her body, with totally new and unique powers of innate interaction and an art sculpture from ordinary to extraordinary.
This "body-face" image indicates the ongoing conflict of any voyeuristic observer displaying a visible construction of male desire.
Indeed, I have transformed any ordinary mouse trap into a wonderful new "Venus shaped female body-face", that began with the vision and inspiration at the source of the African Museum in Tervuren, Belgium.
The result was a stunning sculpture of a female cosmic voice representing the power and strength of women today.
By creating a distinct and innovative piece that offered a unique interpretation of women, the artist's work, unlike René Magritte's "The Rape" series from 1934, 1935, 1945, and 1948, showcased Mona Lisa's smile in a way that set it apart as uniquely captivating and separate from Magritte's other creations.
Professor France Borel's strong conviction in the artwork she encountered demonstrates her deep appreciation for its uniqueness and historical importance, viewing it as an iconic and disruptive piece that should be recognized as a key milestone in modern art history.
Her admiration for the imaginative creation and its representation of the archetype woman highlights her recognition of its creative brilliance and authenticity.
She has framed the model as a top female icon within our contemporary art history, that it is the female "Darwinism", the “Woman's innate question” and a very contemporary approach to the intersection between women and in general attracts like a flower men's optical and neural factors to the brain and genital simultaneously assessed.
This portrayal reflects contemporary society while also echoing themes of sexuality and seduction, encapsulating a timeless appeal reminiscent of both modern times and ancient eras of the Stone Age.
Madame France Borel became the first new owner that day of the presentation of my prototype and the official connection between Marcel Duchamp is evident in the shared concept of ready-made art.
This historical moment underscores the interplay between artistic innovation and cultural significance in shaping the evolution of modern art movements.
More precisely, only in 2015, did I reopen my little “Venus” box of “La Cambre” as an activator for the "Waterloo Artists' Route 2015" and since that day, I have been very focused and committed to my rights being an Artist within my own "Intellectual Property" playing a role in innovation and to offer original authenticity signed proposals.
I hope the enclosed information will assist you. Please feel free to contact me should you have other questions.
Thank you for your attention.
