Nick Ervinck was born in 1981 in Kortrijk (Belgium) and studied sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. He began his work as a sculptor using classical techniques such as sculpting and modelling in clay, but soon developed his own method by using digital technologies. Ervinck's work is characterised by a combination of traditional and modern techniques. He often uses digital technologies such as 3D printing and CNC milling to design and produce the shapes and structures of his sculptures. Afterwards, the sculptures are often worked on by hand and finished with traditional materials such as bronze or marble. In his sculptures, Ervinck creates a world of fantasy and surrealism. His works are characterised by organic forms and complex structures reminiscent of futuristic landscapes or living creatures. His works are often influenced by science fiction and fantasy elements, which he combines with traditional forms and materials. An important part of Ervinck's work is the use of colour and light. By combining light and dark hues, he creates deep shades that bring his sculptures to life. In some cases, he also integrates elements of light into his sculptures to create an even stronger effect. Ervinck has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions and his works can be seen in galleries and museums around the world. Among his best-known works is the sculpture "Pulsar", which was shown in France in 2018 as part of the sculpture exhibition "Le Voyage à Nantes". The sculpture consists of a network of organic shapes that taper towards a central point, giving the impression of a cosmic gateway or wormhole. In addition to his work as a sculptor, Ervinck has also participated in various public art projects, creating monumental sculptures that have left their mark on the cityscape. One example is the sculpture "Nest" in the city of Kortrijk, which consists of three organic forms and is a homage to nature and the environment. Nick Ervinck's works are represented in numerous renowned museums and private collections.
