Bert Eelen (1972) is a contemporary Belgian artist.
He has a Master degree in Applied Economics and in Art History from KuLeuven
He owns several internet projects and operates as a IT-consultant
His art is about people, the human gaze, love for drawing, speed, calligraphy. He never works with a model, but just picks up a brush and starts painting.
In his work he enjoys working fast so that a line can be a witness of this speed. But a painting or drawing is finished when he can use this speed to paint a accurate human gaze that stares at and engages with the viewer. This makes it come alive
