«Painting - this is a very special kind of art, created with the help of the image is unique. In a sense, painting is similar to the cinema - both of these genres are working with the interpretation of the image. Of course, the movies always have a place for stories placed in the space-time frame, while painting purely technically denied the possibility. Nevertheless, the picture always possible to put into it meaning, far exceeding the scope of the actual image ».

Luc Tyuymans was born in 1958 in Mortsel, Belgium. In 1976-1979 he studied fine arts and painting at the Brussels Institute of St. Luke (Sint-Lukasinstituut), then until 1980 - at the National Graduate School of Visual Arts (Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Visuels de la Cambre), as well as in Brussels.

In the early 1980's Tyuymans experienced a period of frustration in painting as a means of communication and carried away film production. By the mid-80's, returning to his favorite technique, Tyuymans enriched it with new techniques which he uses to date are: cropping, dramatic approach, synchronization, installation.
