Overview
The Dance of Life, The Poetry of Being
• There is an undeniable sensuality in the sculptures of Marc de Crote, yet it is not provocative—it is poetic. The interplay of shadow and patina accentuates the soft curves, while the dynamic postures suggest a fleeting moment frozen in time. Like dancers caught mid-motion, these figures defy gravity, sculpting words with the rhythm of their own existence.
 
• Marc De Corte’s sculptures do not merely depict movement—they are movement, frozen in time yet pulsating with life. His dancing girls are more than figures in motion; they are silent storytellers, weaving narratives of balance, freedom, and transformation. They do not simply perform a dance; they embody the eternal rhythm of existence itself.
 
 By choosing the human body as the ultimate artistic medium, Marc reminds us that we, too, are part of this eternal choreography of expression. In his art, words do not merely carry meaning—they breathe it, embody it, and inspire it.
 
• What makes bronze statues unique and so sought after by art lovers is the movement they radiate. Marc De Corte likes to be inspired by modern dance, but there is also a very strong Art Nouveau influence. The result are graceful images with balance as the main theme.
 
• In addition to a classical and more romantic language, Marc De Corte does not shy away from modern issues: his works are characterized by distance and the desire for contact within the context of a pandemic, the independence and strength of women, the search for an own identity in relationships. with others, and maintaining mental balance as one of the main challenges for every highly questioned individual in our society today.
