Drawings by an architect (IG drawingsbyanarchitect) About this selection: The artist’ wall. A compromise with beauty. "This is a simulation of a possible wall at my studio featuring works that by different reasons have a particular and very personal value. These are pieces that had a meaningful role in a series, sometimes as the beginning, sometimes as a summary and others as exceptions. Some of these works are indeed pivoting pieces." About this work: "Den Botaniek (Antwerpen)" (2025) ART WAL 02 (2025) "The only work produced to date in black pen for the "Cacti" series. An elegant and sophisticated depiction of the vertical cacti positioned in the center of the "Plantentuin" of Antwerp. Mysterious shapes, slightly odd.
