At its most elemental level, landscape photography is about capturing the physical attributes of a landscape: the towering mountains, meandering streams, expansive fields, and vibrant sunsets. But for me, it goes far beyond that
I want to challenge the viewer to ponder the world around them. It should raise questions about the meaning of beauty, the fragility of nature, and our place in the universe. It should remind us that we are but a small part of a much larger whole, and that our actions have an impact on the world around us.
Therefore, I want to be more than a technician, who considers the technical aspects of photography as important. It is a work of art, sometimes crude, with a deep aesthetic, a vision, and without a desire for perfection.

Frank Verreyken, digital artist and photographer, received his first camera at the age of 16. From the start, his creative aspiration was to capture absolute beauty, whatever that meant at the time. However, over time he began to seek controversy in his images. At the age of thirty, he decided to enroll in the Academy of Fine Arts.
It was there that he understood that this quest for controversy brought a positive dimension to his works, making his vision of everything he photographed more precious. Despite this, he still felt the need to photograph other subjects, achieve other goals, express different emotions and create original images. Alongside photography, Frank also took up painting in oils, acrylics, watercolors, gouache, exploring different forms of artistic expression.
His artistic career was enriched when the prestigious "Photographer's Gallery" in London selected him for an exhibition on the theme of fear in relation to fascism, putting the concentration camps in the background. This experience led him to seek to rid his photos of what he considered too easy a beauty. He developed a multi-layered approach in his work, seeking to explore different dimensions in his works.
Frank Verreyken's artistic career is a constant journey, a perpetual quest for new forms of expression, emotions and sensibilities through photography and painting.
