Kobe, the artistic alias of Jacques Saelens, was a Belgian sculptor whose work touched people all over the world. He created his own style of sculpting and shaped figures that are immediately recognizable.
Two themes dominated his creations: the female figure in all its simplicity and mystery and the horse as a symbol of strength, companionship and connection.
Fascinated by the ancient cultures of Central and South America, Africa and Asia, Kobe traveled the world to develop his artistic vision. Each of his creations is preceded by a long journey of study, passion and awareness. They are of the highest quality and appreciated by critics for their unique shape of combining the wide, wide and the thin, narrow. His sculptures are often compared to those of Fernando Botero and Marino Marini.
Kobe didn't overcomplicate his art or put hidden meanings into it. Instead, he was constantly looking for simplicity, purity and beauty. With his works of art, Kobe brought to life feelings for the world to enjoy: happiness, affection, love and friendship.
