Lieven D'Haese tells us a story about a child who embraces the future with both arms and both hands open with great joy. Symbolically, the "IIXV" represents the 2 times 5 fingers of his two hands, a hope for "adventure". We can imagine his good dream, the spirit towards the sky like being able to fly like the angels, all the benevolent cosmic energies which reveal to us throughout our life indications on the path to take.

Each sculpture of Lieven D'Haese is a "trip". It makes you travel through the memory and the imagination. This is the magic of his symbolic work and his "savoir-faire" with the sculpture and the foundry work. The subject awakes something deep inside and makes the art lover travel somewhere inside. It brings us direct to the roots...Look at the human expression, feel the movement,... Everyone will certainly find a message.

Each edition of Lieven D'Haese is also an unique piece, because the artist has to create a brand new wax model each time and make his finishing in his personal way which is different and unique.
