Tom de Houwer | Fuerza interior
Nothing is casual in Tom De Houwer’s art, a holistic vision of creation that leads him to measure every detail with the care of a craftsman and the greatness of an artist. And all, in this installation in Córdoba, with a desire: making us to stop and think about where our force is, that force which has made us move forward after more than a year of struggle. The force from whitin, represented by the aesthetic power of Nature.
When working with a material as marvellous as flowers, the saying “less is more” takes on its full meaning. Little more needs to be added to the visual magic of a flower.
About the installation:
“The location, the culture, the time we live in gives me the inspiration for this theme: the force.
I experience it as very inspirational and positively challenging to find a way on how to respect all the contextual components and creating beauty in the process of it. It’s by connecting all the dots in a holistic way of this context and respecting the material, nature, environment, budget and my 7 secret rules for creating harmonious less is more floral design that this happens. For me as a servant of beauty, beauty comes first and technique is there to support it in a humble, non visible but powerful way.
Your strengths are the unique expression of the force within you, through you and by you. What is your strength? How do you bring that force within you to the world in an authentic way to serve?
May the force be within you.”
