Скульптура Gardeco BOULE DE JOIE

Katrin Dekoninck lives as a freelance artist and designer in Belgium.‎ As a child she has been raised in a family that owns a furniture business.‎ At a very early age, she learned the basics of interior design & art and developed a passion.‎ Soon, however, she felt that the furniture industry was too limited to her, she wanted to have more freedom which made her decide to broaden the family’s horizons.‎ A logical consequence was that she started studies in painting and drawing at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.‎ A few years later she took supplementary classes in sculpting and ceramics.‎

She has been awarded for her artwork several times and has been selected to participate at different exhibitions in Belgium and all over Europe.‎ With her latest creation “Boule de Joie” she expresses in a subtle and stylish way of sculpting, the connection and physical touch between two people: a moment of respect and joy towards each other that expresses happiness.‎ In others words: something that, according to Katrin, is too often forgotten in our busy and hectic world of today.‎
