Ruben Boeren

Ruben Boeren (1988, Antwerp) explores in his work the theatrical image and how to translate it in a contemporary and personal way.

This often results in an alienation of the underlying composition and a symbiosis of figuration and abstraction.

‘This merging of abstract and figurative morphology creates room for interpretation. This allows me to develop my own symbolism. It is interesting to see how people really develop a personal relationship with my works.‘ – Ruben Boeren

Above all, the artist celebrates the joy of painting and his ambition is to transmit that spark to the viewer.

Ruben Boeren studied painting at the Academy of Antwerp, followed by a postgraduate degree in visual research at Sint-Lucas Antwerp.
