subject: Mark Van Crombrugges Realistic Still Lives At Agora Gallery [print this page] With the virtuoso of a Dutch Master, Mark Van Crombrugge arranges, manipulates and finally paints his own original photographs. Using his background in numerous media, the artist creates masterpieces of highlighting, composition, form and color. He leaves nothing extraneous in his arrangements, so that the final product is the epitome of minimalist realism. Van Crombrugge is inherently aware of his artistic strength and avoids artistic trends, concentrating on his own unique abilities.
Mark Van Crombrugge, who received his art degree from St. Lucas in Brussels, has created the work of a true maestro.
