Buddy Verstrepen was born in Holland (1991) and is mostly a conceptual product designer, specialized in organic & futuristic products, who's passionate about biology, science and philosophy. 

He believes that because we are all products of nature and because our existence couldn’t be possible without the surrounding forces and the evolutionary path we’ve taken, it only makes sense to follow the same rules and path in creating new additions to our world. This is how he tries to design all of his works, organic shapes that look like they’ve been grown by evolution.

This fascination for the world and its development continues in the art he makes, the black and white ink drawings and the acrylic paintings he makes are always highly organic and follow a certain natural flow, he likes to play with the physical world and the mental one and grows the two together in his pieces. Biology, psychology and philosophy are leading subjects in all his artworks.

In this exhibition Buddy will present a few of his product with the concept development which are an visualization of his way of thinking, organic designs influenced by evolution.
