ABOUT VITAL

ARTIST STATEMENT

As a visual artist, I consider myself an eclectic abstract impressionist and love mixed media. My dynamic work is rich in texture, consisting predominately of thick acrylic layers, cardboard, fabric, charcoal and crayon. It's spontaneous and messy which is liberating and cathartic.

“I paint METAPHORS, EMOTIONS and ENERGY.”

In my other life, I am an inspirational speaker. For me, the art and biz worlds overlap as I create and share to touch the hearts and minds of audiences, inspiring thought and connection.

I am a Belgian national, with a British accent, born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, who got to live the American dream by way of a French Canadian circus, Le Cirque du Soleil. My multicultural background and performing arts career is told through vulnerable and authentic story-telling on canvas and board. The viewer gets to meet my soul.

BIO

Vital has been called an international man of intrigue. He discovered art while performing in Cirque du Soleil as an acrobat. Needing a challenge beyond the show, MYSTERE, he furthered his education. Unsure of what to take at UNLV, he randomly flipped through their catalogue blindly pointing at a class. Beginners drawing it was! And in 1994 the journey into fine art began. It never stopped, continually evolving as he challenges himself to explore, discover, often failing miserably along that journey. Vital is aware that it is through failure that we evolve.

But wait, there’s more! When Vital isn’t in his studio painting, he writes books (7-time author), speaks and coaches. He inspires others to find themselves and live with freedom and authenticity: Be INSPIRED to REACH HIGHER with Vital.

A modern day renaissance man.
