Yves Decamps calls himself an «internet trash recycling artist», meticulously merging images found on the internet to bring his masterpieces to life. In his unique approach to the art of portraiture, Decamps transcends conventional boundaries, turning his canvases into intriguing visual constructions where painting is more than just a medium, it’s a tool for communicating his ideas.
Inspired by the everyday reality he observes around him, Decamps chooses to digest and reinterpret this world through a prism of humor and absurdity. Although he has been away from his native Belgium for years, his art carries with it the essence and security characteristic of the Belgian artistic tradition, going back to the early Flemish.
Each brush of Decamps is imbued with a unique narrative, where the mundane transforms into the extraordinary and the familiar is seen from a completely new perspective. His works are not just portraits, but windows to an alternative universe where reality is distorted and redefined through the magic of his creativity. In his quest to capture the essence of contemporary life, Decamps invites us to reflect on our own perception of the world around us.
