Myriam Vangenechten

Myriam Vangenechten (°1962)
studied architecture at UA Antwerp (1986) ;
art-history, sculpture & three-dimensional art at the Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten Jan Portaels in Vilvoorde (2020) ;
She runs with her partner MarS architecten bv.

Her work exists at the crossroads of art, architecture and design. Characterized by a playful yet rigorous exploration of form and structure. Her background informs her approach, integrating analytical thinking with a deep sensitivity to materiality and spatial relationships. Concepts such as stacking, scaling and the interplay of positive and negative space are central to her artistic process.

The aluminium Objects “I” and “+ –“ become a playful yet profound exploration of composition, perception, and personal expression – an invitation to engage, discover and be moved by the ever- evolving dialogue between art and viewer.

Since end 2024, a new dimension has been added. She explores the boundary between giving form and gaining function, between the object itself and furniture.
The “+-” object, based on an incised cube, embraces this challenge, resulting in 3 side tables
“CUBE – SOLITAIR – CROSSED”.
