Memory of Water: Siegfried Vynck

Unable to travel due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Municipality of Ostend made this film of Siegfried Vynck in his home town preparing a mural about the local fishing industry to mark Heritage Day 2020.
Siegfried Vynck grew up surrounded by the paintings of his grandfather who was a well-known expressionist painter. From a young age, he started drawing and painting realising that this was his calling. At the age of fifteen, Vynck picked up the spray-can which turned out to be a perfect match. Quickly after, commissioned work came rolling in, and he realised he could not narrow his style, instead he focused on becoming an "all-round" artist. From abstract work to portraits, to landscapes and true graffiti-spirit creations, he is now a well-respected artist in the Belgian street art and graffiti scene. Since 2010, he is a full-time independent artist.
