Claude Merken, born in 1975, lives and works in Liège.
A passionate autodidact, he developed an interest in modeling long before fully delving into sculpture.

It was in 2020, during the first lockdown, that his desire to create took on new impetus: he learned about 3D printing and began to explore the possibilities offered by this technology for contemporary sculpture.

After four years of experimentation, Claude refined a unique process that resulted in imposing, visually striking, and instantly recognizable works. His work is inspired by the Voronoi pattern, a mathematical principle based on the natural distribution of cells or organic structures. This geometric mesh, found in insect wings, shells, and bone structures, becomes, in his hands, a visual language in its own right, somewhere between lightness and density.

Her sculptures—human, animal, or abstract—capture attention with their play of shadows, volumes, and transparencies. While her approach remains resolutely aesthetic, it nonetheless questions our relationship to form, matter, and space.

Claude Merken creates works designed to interact with their environment: they are equally at home in a living room or an exhibition space. Driven by a patient, rigorous, and instinctive practice, he constructs a unique sculptural universe, between technological innovation and sensitive contemplation.
