The fantasy of the writer

The artwork 'The fantasy of the writer' is custom made for this elongated wall in the city of Scherpenheuvel/Zichem and depicts a caricature of Ernest Claes in a dreamy atmosphere. He lies among cuckoo flowers with his notebook in his lap and his fountain pen behind his ear. His friend the stone marten (Floere het Fluwijn) sits with him. He smokes from his signature pipe and blows out rings of smoke. A bluethroat and a reed warbler fly through the clouds of smoke. This work of art connects the local fauna and flora with the historical culture of the region. The caricatural style and the soft color palette make the design timeless and unique.
