(°1969) Geel, Belgium

Gysen paints figuratively and delves deeply into a theme, employing all painterly techniques with virtuosity and evident enjoyment. He actively engages with the medium of paint, working within its tactile and layered qualities to create his images. Rather than relying on gestural brushstrokes, Gysen's approach is characterized by patient and attentive observation, as he carefully seeks balance in color, form, and composition. His focus is on depicting a vivid pictorial reality, immersing viewers in the rich world of painting. This approach reflects both a broad-mindedness and a refined sensibility.
