Born the 3th of July 1982 in Antwerp, MERMIC has been surrounded by art ever since child- hood.

He creates large collages using hundreds of pieces of paper from magazines. The subtle images he produces are the result of patience, dexterity and weeks of work. 

​

By recycling magazines, he expresses the current awareness of the need to protect the planet. In his view, art should give pleasure but can also be part of this reasoned approach. He sees himself as a commercial artist delivering high-quality works designed to last. People appreciate this attitude, which enables them to treat themselves in keeping with contemporary values.
