We are delighted to announce that the sculpture "Feelings" by our esteemed Brussels artist has been officially included in the permanent public collection of the prestigious Saito Museum in Matsusaka, Japan, as of November 2024. This marks a significant milestone in the international recognition of contemporary Belgian art.
"Feelings", a masterful work of emotional depth and graceful form, has captivated audiences with its universal language of human connection. Its elegant lines and evocative composition harmonize perfectly with the Saito Museum’s mission of celebrating art that transcends borders, offering visitors profound moments of reflection and inspiration.
The Saito Museum, located in Matsusaka, Mie Prefecture, Japan, is a private art museum founded by psychiatrist Saitō Yōichi. The museum's collection comprises approximately 3,000 works, primarily focusing on modern Western-style paintings. The museum organizes about three unique exhibitions annually, showcasing these pieces.
The collection emphasizes not only the aesthetic beauty of the artworks but also the artists' dedication and originality. It includes many works that may have been overlooked in mainstream art history. The museum's mission is to re-evaluate and highlight the richness of modern and contemporary art, both from Japan and abroad.
