Stefaan de Croock
Stefaan de Croock (1982) vive y trabaja en Brujas, Bélgica. Se graduó en bellas artes (diseño gráfico) en Sint-Lucas en Gante. Desde 2011, Stefaan dedica su tiempo a su arte y proyecto artístico 'Strook'. Su formación y experiencia como diseñador gráfico marcó claramente su visión artística. Stefaan dibuja algunas líneas básicas primero. Cada dibujo comienza con esa acción rápida, espontánea e incluso impulsiva, inclinándose hacia el dibujo automático. Dentro de esas líneas, crea diferentes dimensiones al agregar color, estructura y detalles narrativos. Las líneas argumentales de sus obras luchan por la atención del espectador. Sin embargo, la gran composición se mantiene firme.
