Tim Roosen

Tim Roosen was born in Sint-Truiden, Belgium, in 1972. He is a blacksmith and self-taught metalsculpting artist. His ‘Angels & Demons’ are life-size heroic warrior women, made of a variety of metals, including steel, copper, stainless, bronze and aluminium. Inspired by an overdose of Sci-Fi movies in his youth, tons of fantasy literature and plenty of weird dreams, these ‘metal maidens’ have a definate dark, warrior-like feel, without forfeiting their femininity. Metal, a cold and lifeless material, is cut, hammered, shaped and welded into organic, living creatures of dreams and nightmares.
