about

My name is Wilfried de Cock, and as a sculptor, I aim to encapsulate the core of human connections and our bond with the natural world. In a time marked by fear and detachment, I view art as a potent tool for introspection and transformation.

Through my artwork, I offer a direct response, a quiet defiance, to the prevailing culture of fear. I hold the belief that by rekindling our relationships with nature and one another, we can renew a sense of optimism and peace. My sculptures serve as solid manifestations of this belief.

Within my studio, creations of varying sizes come to life. Ranging from grand sculptures that command space and interact with their environment, often situated in natural settings or public arenas, to intricate, petite pieces that encourage personal contemplation. Regardless of dimensions, each sculpture conveys the same theme of interconnectedness and the imperative to reconnect with our intrinsic roots.

Witness how structure, medium, and imagination converge in my quest for a more interconnected and less apprehensive world.


My website's name, Venustas, derives from Latin meaning beauty. To me, that beauty signifies nature, and I aspire to foster enhanced relationships amongst people and between humanity and nature through beauty and emotion.
