Lucas van Eeghen

Van Eeghen's work could be described as a symphony of texture and depth, with each piece offering a tactile experience that draws viewers into a multi-dimensional space. His technique is reminiscent of the impasto style used by old masters like Vincent van Gogh, where thick applications of paint create a physicality that adds emotion and movement to the piece. However, van Eeghen extends this concept into the third dimension, breaking free from the confines of the canvas in a way that the old masters could only metaphorically achieve through their dynamic brushstrokes.
