Peter Heylands
Heyland studied in the acadamy of art in brugge and paris.
He got famous through his video on youtube. In this video he is painting an edith piaf portrait on a black canvas, while women is singing during the 3 minutes painting act.
This video got more than 1 million views. Thats why he invited to a lot of TV shows.
„i get inspired by the posters of famous movies of the last century which got painted by Rauschenberg, Johns, Warhol, Liechtenstein, Oldenburg, Hamilton which played a influence for me.“
Some of his art works are owened by Sting, Johnny Depp, Jean Claude Van Damme, Justine Henin, Kim Clijsters, Axelle Red, Lara Fabian, Patrick Bruel, Arno, Toots, Thielemans and Jaques Chirac.
This year Heylands will have a big exhibition in the musee de montmatre.
