Nick Ervinck was born in Kortrijk (Belgium) in 1981 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 modeling in clay, but soon developed his own method using digital technologies. Ervinck's work is characterized by a combination of traditional and modern techniques. He often uses digital technologies such as 3D printing and CNC milling to design and fabricate the shapes and structures of his sculptures. The sculptures are then often finished 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 characterized by organic forms and complex structures reminiscent of futuristic landscapes or living creatures. His work is 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 color and light. By combining light and dark tones, he creates deep shades that bring his sculptures to life. In some cases he also integrates light elements into his sculptures to achieve an even stronger effect. Ervinck has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions and his work can be seen in galleries and museums around the world. One of his most famous 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 forms 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 art projects in public spaces, creating monumental sculptures that dot the cityscape. An example of this is the sculpture "Nest" in the city of Kortrijk, which consists of three organic shapes and is a tribute to nature and the environment. The works of Nick Ervinck are represented in numerous renowned museums and private collections.
