About Pol Ledent

Born on 23rd October 1952

The act of painting has become my way of life. I paint everyday and almost feel sick if I do not paint for a day. Even the most common everyday sights are the start of a painting. I want people to perceive beauty in the things and places where they did not think of finding it. Beauty can be found everywhere; its charm is present even in things and sights we know so well. But because they seem familiar, the beauty tends to elude us. My work is aimed at the heart; it is based on sensitivity and romanticism. Putting my own vision of reality on canvas brings me never ending happiness because I want my art to speak to the soul rather than to intellect.

Pol Ledant is a self taught artist who was born in Belgium. He took drawing lessons in an art academy in Dinant, but started painting in 1995, rapidly switching from water color to oil as he felt that oil matched his way of being. Being away from modernism, Pol continues to tread an original path – that of ‘the living nature’. He has indulged in landscape, abstract as well as figurative art. He is a permanent artist in the Voshan Gallery in Palo Alto (CA). Pol’s work has been displayed in collector’s homes in the USA, France, China, Scotland, Portugal and Switzerland.
