Filip Firlefijn was born in 1979 in Wilrijk. He studied Germanic Philology in Louvain (Belgium) to receive his master's degree in 2005. He is locally well-known for his fast-paced sketches of iconic figures and his large-scale portraits as well as his photography. Yet, perhaps first and foremost, he is a writer. Filip has already exhibited his artworks and photography internationally such as in Switzerland, USA, Italy, France, Germany and Spain. He was a semi-finalist in Miami 2.0 organized by the Swiss Artbox Projects and has received multiple prizes such as the "Artist of the Future Award" by the Contemporary Art Curator Magazine and the "International Prize Leonardo Da Vinci", given by the Effetto Arte Foundation.
