Valenijn is a Belgian artist who works with metal and specializes in metallic coloring.
His works cover a wide range of motifs, from the figurative to the abstract,
and the colors applied to their simple structures and smooth surfaces combine with the luster and air of the metal to offer a rich breadth of expression. This exhibition will also feature drawings that exhibit the characteristic touch of a modeler.
