Didier François was born the Second of April 1969 in Brussels, and now lives and works in Mechelen (Antwerp). From his childhood onwards he has been surrounded with artistic vibes. His mother, a paintress herself, always turned the house into a nice and lively atmosphere, welcoming lots of friend artists. Didier’s mind however was constantly drowned in music, and on the age of four he asked to play the violin. Drown by a fascination for matter, Didier found relief in sculpture as well, a new means for him to express his true feelings, where the violin’s technical aspects led to a love hate affair!
Through a unique combination of techniques and materials (bronze, silver, gold, steel), Didier François creates images that radiate a spiritual power. His work is not tied to religion, but is more of a philosophical concept in which he combines the power of vibrations with anthropomorphic personalities. Using the art and spirituality of ancient tribes, he creates sculptures that radiate a positive energy. As soon as you see one, you are inspired by it and it reminds you of your personal path.
