Vincent Messelier<br />

Cavaliere dell’arte<br />

Biografia<br />

Vincent Messelier is born in Kortrijk,<br />

Belgium on the 6th of October 1967. He<br />

started painting in May 2006. He is a<br />

completely self-taught artist who’s very<br />

passionate about his art. Vincent paints<br />

from his heart and soul with some jazzy<br />

music on the background. Depending on<br />

the moment or his mood, some other<br />

music can also inspire his work. In<br />

March 2011, he decided to sell his cashcollecting<br />

office, he had started up in 1992<br />

and chose to live his real passion... Art! In<br />

November 2011, he became a member of<br />

“Dubai Art Center” where he exhibited<br />

his works and also kept his own art<br />

studio. In April that year, he exhibited in<br />

New York City, at the Broadway Gallery.<br />

He developped his own style, called<br />

“Meridianism”. Vincent uses palletknives<br />

and in his artwork, vertical and<br />

horizontal stripes and lines refer to the worlds’ meridians. He uses acrylics,<br />

sometimes combined with wood, foam or other materials. The artist also started<br />

a second line for hospitality and business, a concept, blending his own<br />

photographs, while projecting on details of his own paintings. Horses, historical<br />

buildings, birds, cars, sports... They all inspire him! He exhibited in New York,<br />

Dubai, Paris, Brussels, Bruges, Den Haag, Amsterdam, Bari, Barcelona, and<br />
