Eric Schmickrath was born on January 14, 1973 in Arlon in the province of Luxembourg. A lover of the arts, and in particular of Belgian painters, Eric Schmickrath today gives free rein to his imagination. His work is marked by the gaze. The eyes, mirror of the soul, take us to task. His winged creatures with expressive looks translate and question our need for freedom. However, half-human, half-object, they question us about what our humanity is heading towards: transhumanism and its many questions. Always and more than ever create freedom... This word, the most beautiful and the most demanding in the eyes of Eric Schmickrath, is also found in his mineral compositions with deep colors.
