About this artwork
In this painting, I wanted to capture the strangeness between reality and imagination, where a white horse seems to be the guardian of a suspended world. The unfinished staircase symbolizes the ascent into the unknown, while the solitude of the island and its reflection create a metaphysical atmosphere full of mystery. This work invites us to dream and explore the invisible beyond appearances.
The white horse evokes purity, nobility, innocence.…
His calm demeanor contrasts with the strangeness of the setting.
He seems to be observing or waiting.
The reflection reinforces the idea of a dual reality: reality or illusion.
The title (The Reflection) suggests a questioning of perception, of truth.
This painting can be interpreted as a meditation on isolation (the island, the solitary horse), the absurdity or fragility of human constructions (the staircase),
and the blurred line between reality and illusion (the reflection).
It invites inner reflection rather than a clear narrative reading.

« If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint it. - E. Hopper »
Van Quickenborne explores time. His unique technique of juxtaposing oil and acrylic took him several years of research. His creative process begins with preparatory drawings followed by composition work. Each painting takes about 2 months of work.
Exhibiting since 1980, his reputation extends beyond borders: France, Germany, Japan, Luxembourg, Spain, USA, United Arab Emirates, Belgium, Poland, etc.
A member of the Taylor Foundation, he has received numerous awards and is featured in many private collections, at the Stadt Bühl Museum (Baden-Baden, Germany) and art books.
He is close to the surrealists, the visionaries, the steampunk, without really belonging to these movements. It is a painting rooted in its time while remaining on the margins.
"Such Art, served by a learned profession, by an intelligence that is both cruel and tender, will not leave indifferent lovers of high-end imaginary painting." L'Écho – Brussels.
