Koen Fillet (1962) failed studying drawing and graphics at St-Lucas in Ghent, Belgium. After destroying his entire early oeuvre, Fillet abandoned the arts for almost three decades.

Fillet was one of Flanders’ leading radio talk show hosts.
A growing unease with journalism and a brimming urge to translate images into form made Fillet pick up the brush again.

Now painting has become his language: expressing the disquiet which lingers just beneath the surface of his work.
