A school of small fish forms one big, hungry one; layered, bold, and ready to bite. But one fish didn’t play along. It swam off alone, right out of the painting, without looking back. On its back: TOO LATE. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is a playful nod to instinct, escape, and the courage to go your own way; no matter what the others are doing. This one comes in a gold frame; a special, more exclusive edition in the series. Hashtags: #fish #fishes #lanternfish #catchmeifyoucan #toolate #frankwillems

TRANQUIL MONKEY presents a sharp and playful response to the spirit of our times, where opinions are shouted loudly, from left to right and from right to left. Everyone seems determined to push their views forward, often leaving no space for silence, nuance, or personal peace. Each artwork depicts a monkey in a different meditation pose, surrounded by the text: PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB THE TRANQUIL MONKEY. The monkey sits in serene stillness, unaffected by the storm of opinions and protests that rage around it. Beneath each framed piece protrudes a cheeky but cleverly designed mechanism: a movable monkey penis. When the viewer moves it back and forth (from left to right and right to left 😉), the monkey’s eyes roll. This playful interaction ironically highlights how even in moments of deep calm, a minimal external trigger can provoke an inner reaction. Yet the monkey remains seated: undisturbed, meditative, steadfast. TRANQUIL MONKEY is not only a commentary on the hysteria of public opinion and endless activism, but also a plea for the right to inner peace. A simple message that says: Leave me alone. #TranquilMonkey #InnerPeace #ArtWithAttitude #MeditationHumor #LeaveMeAlone

This artwork is part of LUMINOUS DEPTHS: Step into another world—one we barely understand, yet are already beginning to exploit. This installation immerses you in a dark deep-sea realm, where neon and UV paint reveal hidden life forms. Fish with pulsating lines, jellyfish glowing like floating ghosts, and twisting octopuses emerge from the darkness as your blacklight traces their contours. Thick mist drifts along the floor like deep ocean currents, while eerie sounds surround you. What lives here? What remains unseen? And what are we destroying before we even comprehend it? “Luminous Depths” is a living painting in which you are both the explorer—and perhaps the intruder. #LuminousDepths #DeepSeaArt #ImmersiveExperience #NeonCreatures #OceanMystery

The serie ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM plays with perspective, humor, and underlying themes of discomfort and duality. At first glance, it is recognizable as an elephant, but upon closer inspection, the work reveals a playful and suggestive ambiguity. The fusion of forms challenges the viewer to reflect on perception and interpretation—what do we truly see, and what do we project onto the image ourselves? The elephant’s eyes are recessed into the material, creating a mesmerizing effect. From every angle, the elephant’s gaze seems to follow you, resulting in an almost inescapable confrontation with the artwork. This enhances the meaning of the expression “elephant in the room”—an obvious and prominent subject that is often ignored or left unspoken. By combining humor and provocation, the series succeeds in offering both levity and depth. The work invites discussion: is it merely a playful image, or a metaphor for societal issues we would rather not address? #ElephantInTheRoom #ArtWithMeaning #PerceptionAndReality #HumorInArt #ThoughtProvokingArt

ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
This artwork is a tribute to the love for Persian carpets, with traditional patterns uniquely reinterpreted. Painted on recycled scrap wood, it combines the rich, detailed motifs of a classic Persian carpet with modern techniques like spray paint and markers. The bold text "MAKE IT MAGIC" in the center emphasizes the theme of transformation, where old craftsmanship and contemporary expression merge in a piece of art that both honors the past and gives new meaning to the everyday. #PersianArt #ContemporaryCraft #UpcycledArt #ModernMeetsTraditional #MakeItMagic

This series of five artworks transforms a second-hand side table into an interactive tribute to nature. In its lowest position, the table serves as a functional piece of furniture. But in different positions, it reveals a deeper meaning—showcasing the delicate beauty of flowers and the relentless hunt of the Venus flytrap. Each piece is painted in bold, vibrant colors, making the flowers, insects, and movements come to life. The intense hues amplify the energy of nature: the deep blue of the asters, the radiant yellow of the sunflower, and the striking purple of the asters create a dazzling explosion of contrast and color. By combining recycled materials, vivid colors, and an interactive design, this artwork invites the viewer to explore the fragile balance of nature—sometimes harmonious, sometimes ruthless, but always vibrant and full of energy. #InteractiveArt #NatureInspired #UpcycledArt #VibrantColors #FloralDesign

CHILLIN' SLOTH is an artwork featuring a sloth made from reclaimed wood, playfully capturing the everyday life of these calm creatures. Hanging from a beam in the space, the piece exudes a relaxed atmosphere. The use of reclaimed wood highlights not only the creativity of the material but also the refined simplicity of the peaceful moment. The sloth, in its natural, laid-back pose, invites reflection and brings a charming, nonchalant energy to any space. #SustainableArt #ReclaimedWood #SlowLiving #NatureInspired #ArtWithSoul

The series PECK YA FREE captures the indomitable drive for freedom in a powerful and playful image. A woodpecker, symbolizing perseverance and liberation, drills its sharp beak straight through the frame, as if breaking through the boundaries that confine it. The frame no longer serves as a limitation but as an obstacle to be overcome. In the background, the phrase "peck ya free" is subtly yet unmistakably carved, serving as a call to liberation, transformation, and the breaking of imposed structures. The combination of the woodpecker’s physical action and the engraved words creates a layered artwork where movement, symbolism, and material interaction converge. With PECK YA FREE, the viewer is challenged to reflect on the limitations that surround them. Is freedom something granted, or must it be actively seized? The woodpecker demonstrates that true freedom is not only physical but also psychological: breaking through mental barriers, rigid thought patterns, and inner constraints. Through action and perseverance, both visible and invisible boundaries can be transcended. #ArtOfFreedom #BreakTheFrame #SymbolicArt #InnerLiberation #CreativeResistance

SWING MONKEY SWING is an interactive art series that combines playfulness and movement. Inside a frame, a small monkey hangs, seemingly waiting for action. The true magic of the artwork is revealed when the viewer pulls the string on the side—at that moment, the monkey comes to life, swinging back and forth as if moving through an invisible jungle. This series invites interaction and literally sets art in motion. The play of gravity, balance, and rhythm makes each moment unique; no two swings are ever exactly the same. By activating the piece, the viewer becomes not just an observer but an active participant in the experience. SWING MONKEY SWING explores the boundaries between art and play, reminding us of the simple joy of movement and discovery. #InteractiveArt #KineticArt #ArtAndPlay #MovementInArt #ParticipatoryArt

WIGGLE WIGGLE is a captivating series of interactive paintings featuring a playful penguin as the central figure. These artworks invite the viewer not only to observe but also to engage. By sliding the wooden handle back and forth, the penguin comes to life, waddling cheerfully across the canvas. The simplicity of the mechanism—a subtle sliding motion—enhances the playfulness and allows both young and old to connect with the artwork. With WIGGLE WIGGLE explores the boundaries between painting and interaction. The penguin’s joyful waddling dance playfully reflects its natural gait and invites discovery, laughter, and play. A reminder of the joy that art can bring when set in motion. #InteractiveArt #PlayfulCreativity #ArtInMotion #JoyOfArt #PenguinDance

‘DISPOSABLE CAMERA’ is a series that explores the transience of the moment, time, and perception. The objects—designed to be placed on a tripod or hung on the wall—take the shape of classic disposable cameras, but with a unique twist: the lens has been replaced by a mirror that distorts the reflection. When someone looks into it, they see themselves in a humorous and distorted way, a subtle reference to how memories shift and change over time. Each object features the text: “CAPTURE THIS MOMENT IN THE PRESENT, BECAUSE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, THIS WILL BE THE PAST.” This series blends nostalgia with humor. The disposable camera, symbolizing analog simplicity, becomes a reflective object that confronts the viewer with their ever-changing self-image. The distorted reflections emphasize the idea that memories not only fade but are also shaped by emotions, context, and time. #DisposableCamera #ReflectionsOfTime #MemoryAndHumor #DistortedSelf #NostalgiaArt

DISPOSABLE CAMERA
CAPTURED BY SAFETY is a series of artworks that together form a small stop-motion animation. In this sequence, a mouse moves up and down through the frame, while a cat follows it with its eyes and moves its tail. The mouse enters the frame through the skirting board. Within this space, it is safe, shielded from the dangers outside the frame. At the same time, it is also trapped, confined within its supposed protection. This tension between safety and restriction reflects a feeling that many people can relate to, especially those who struggle with anxiety. The artwork explores the dynamic between threat and refuge, inviting the viewer to reflect on the balance between protection and confinement in everyday life. #ArtWithMeaning #StopMotionArt #AnxietyAndSafety #ThreatAndRefuge #ContemporaryArt

CAPTURED BY SAFETY
DIG DEEP depicts an ostrich that has buried its head so deeply in the ground that it eventually disappears outside the frame. The bird is unhappy with its situation, but by digging deep, it will free itself. In the background, the text reads: "SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DIG DEEP TO GET BACK TO REAL LIFE", which reinforces the message of the piece. It emphasizes that sometimes, deep effort and self-reflection are needed to overcome difficult situations and reconnect with reality. The work invites contemplation on the power of perseverance and transformation. #DigDeep #Perseverance #SelfReflection #OvercomingChallenges #PersonalGrowth

ACTIVIST-PROOF ART is a series of two artworks designed for activists who are often inclined to attach themselves to world-famous paintings, such as those by Vermeer, Van Gogh, Goya, and others. These artworks offer an innovative solution with a bed of nails, effectively protecting them from being clung to by activists.#ActivistProofArt #InnovativeArt #MuseumSafety #ContemporaryArt #ArtProtection

STROKE A CACTUS is a series of artworks that capture the mystique and beauty of cacti. These pieces are painted in 2D, but the nails sticking out of the wooden background create a surprising 3D effect. The cacti seem almost alive, inviting you to touch them. But beware! For those who like to touch everything with their hands, it is better to leave these cacti alone, as the sharp nails can be dangerous. STROKE A CACTUS is an experience that challenges both visually and tactically, while also warning about the sharp boundaries of beauty. #InteractiveArt #CactusArt #3DEffects #VisualExperience #ArtWithEdge

And if you look closely… can you spot the little clownfish among the fluorescent coral formations? #UnderwaterArt #NeonCoral #OceanVibes #MarineLifeMagic #ColorfulArt

TROUBLES IN BLUE PARADISE
ART REVEAL is a series of paintings that playfully engage with the trend of ‘art reveal’ videos on social media. In these videos, artists dramatically unveil their work by lifting and turning it over. This series takes that concept and twists it by placing not only the artwork but also the person revealing it at the center of attention. At the edges of the canvas, hands appear – the hands of the person holding the painting. What they reveal is not just a piece of art but also a half-naked, tattooed body. With a playful nod to digital self-representation and the tension between visibility and anonymity, ART REVEAL questions how we present both art and ourselves to the world – and what happens when the two merge. #ArtReveal #DigitalIdentity #BodyAndArt #SelfRepresentation #ContemporaryArt

KICKFLIP MONKEY is a dynamic and playful artwork that captures the energy and movement of skateboarding. It consists of three skateboard decks, each featuring a frame from an animation of a monkey performing a perfect kickflip. Together, the three decks create a seamless representation of this iconic skate trick, showcasing speed, balance, and acrobatics. #ArtOfMotion #SkateboardArt #KickflipMonkey #UrbanEnergy #PopCultureVibes

A playful blend of nostalgia and technology, ROCKIN’ MONKEY transforms a classic rocking horse into a mischievous, moving monkey.

As a passerby approaches, the rocking monkey automatically starts moving up and down, as if taking its rider on a wild jungle adventure. This interactive artwork combines humor, motion, and childlike wonder, inviting viewers to engage in a moment of playful interaction. #InteractiveArt #KineticSculpture #PlayfulDesign #ArtAndTechnology #NostalgicInnovation

This series of 3D paintings, titled LOVE MIXTAPES, is an homage to the iconic cassette tapes that once captured heartfelt messages and the most beautiful songs from the radio, meant to win the heart of a loved one. The works evoke the nostalgia of an era when music was not only a passion but also a way to express emotions and create memories. Each piece in the series is an artwork that resonates both visually and emotionally, representing the beauty of giving – a physical gift, a piece of history, an act of love. The 3D structure of the works brings to life the impression of a cassette tape, symbolizing the powerful emotions and memories it holds. The artworks merge the charm of a bygone era with the contemporary desire to share love and connection, creating a perfect blend of nostalgia and meaning. #LoveMixtapes #ArtOfNostalgia #3DPainting #EmotionalArt #ModernRomanticism

KEEP THE CHILD IN YOU is an intriguing artwork created for hip-hop artist Timmietex, inspired by his track 'Ocean Club.' In daylight, the piece depicts a detailed head with visible brains, symbolizing adulthood and mental processes.

JOOST KLEIN is a bold and defiant artwork that captures a pivotal moment in contemporary music history. Created on the very day Joost Klein was disqualified from the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, this piece serves as an artistic reaction to the controversial decision made by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The artwork depicts Joost Klein in a crouching position, wearing his signature blue suit—a recognizable symbol of his unique persona and stage presence. His hands are raised upward, forming an unmistakable gesture of defiance: both middle fingers extended in protest. Engraved on these fingers are the letters EBU and ESC, directly referencing the organizations responsible for his disqualification. This striking detail underscores the tension between artistic expression and institutional authority. Beyond its immediate context, JOOST KLEIN embodies a deeper conversation about artistic freedom, censorship, and the power dynamics within the entertainment industry. The piece conveys a raw mix of frustration, resistance, and resilience, inviting the viewer to reflect on the broader implications of Klein’s exclusion from Eurovision. The work is not just a reaction; it is a statement—one that challenges the limits of self-expression in mainstream media and questions the structures that govern creative voices. With its intense emotional charge and unmistakable symbolism, JOOST KLEIN stands as a visual representation of rebellion and artistic integrity in the face of institutional control. #ArtisticRebellion #JoostKlein #FreedomOfExpression #ContemporaryArt #AgainstTheSystem
