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

In his previous artistic period, he was completely focused on collages, which achieved international recognition. After 10 years of recycling paper on canvas in very diverse creations, MerMic decided to continue making art with a mission. Nowficial art. 

​

In today's society, anxiety is an increasingly common condition that is the cause of a lot of suffering. Ranging from mental illnesses and physical conditions to violence and even wars.

The good news is that many fears can be resolved by learning to live in the now again. To be present. Most fears arise from living in the past and an imaginary future. 

​

How do you learn to live in the now again? Simply by creating small actions or landmarks for yourself that remind you to be present. You will see that little by little it will become an easier and more natural transition and you will be less guided by fear and therefore more likely to feel yourself in a peaceful state.

​

MerMic's belief is that art can play a very important role in this. The Nowficial works of art are created  as friendly reminders to be in the now.
