Eelco Hilgersom Dutch, b. 1979

Eelco Hilgersom was born in 1979 in Amsterdam.
And since childhood, he has been fascinated by the
architecture and structures that nature creates.
This fascination drives him to create abstract works
based on these natural forms and organisms. In all
of his work, Eelco is looking for contrasts in shapes,
color or material. “My aim is to touch the observers
and take them into the work through the contrasts and
complexity of the piece.” To achieve this goal he uses
different techniques and materials.
He is constantly looking for the challenge of working
with new materials. This makes it necessary to learn the
material by heart and discover the possibilities of the
material he wants to work with. What matters is the end
result he wants to achieve. Each concept that he wants
to develop requires a different approach, which is why
he works with different materials. “Because I don’t
impose any guidelines or frameworks on myself,
I can go wild with my ideas.”
His belief that art should not be static but should
breathe, evolve, and dance with the rhythm of our
existence has led him to create works that are not
only visually striking but also deeply connected to the
essence of the present moment. What distinguishes his
work is its ability to capture the dynamic nature of life
itself. Every creation, every hue, and every composition
bears witness to the constant transformation and
renewal that defines our world. His art is a celebration
of the living, breathing, and ever-changing beauty that
surrounds us.
