The Belgian Muralist
Hasselt, Belgium, 1823. A life begins in the Limburg province. Godfried Guffens enters the world on 22 July, a time when the foundations of Belgian identity are being forged through heavy brushstrokes and grand narratives.
The focus of his career settles upon the monumental. He does not seek the intimacy of small canvases but rather the expansive scale of walls. His hands move across surfaces to create religious and historical murals. These works occupy large architectural spaces, demanding that the viewer look upward.
