Meet Wes: The Good Soulseaker

Wes, a 43-year-old artist from the beautiful city of Bruges, has lived a life shaped by diverse experiences and cultural influences from his travels around the world. However, his journey into the world of art took an unexpected turn earlier this year after a serious motorbike accident. Through this challenging time, Wes discovered a deep passion for abstract art, which became both a form of healing and a path to self-discovery.

His artistic style is characterized by a unique blend of clean lines and organic forms, mainly created with acrylic paint. Often working in monochrome, with a focus on striking black-and-white contrasts, Wes explores themes of depth, movement, and emotion. His works are not merely technical exercises but windows into a deeper abstract world, where each viewer is invited to interpret freely and connect with the emotions behind the art.

Wes’s creations are crafted using a distinctive mix of acrylic paint, brushwork, palette knives, and a self-developed technique inspired by Japanese art. This fusion of tools and cultural influences gives his work a unique character, reflecting both his personal journey and the broader global inspirations that shape his creative vision.

Each piece tells its own story—capturing moments of pain, healing, and joy in abstract forms. Wes invites you to embark on this visual journey, where each artwork opens a window into his world of emotions, challenges, and triumphs.

Thank you for joining Wes on this artistic journey. He hopes his work resonates with you, offering inspiration, reflection, and perhaps a sense of solace, just as it has for him.
