WOLF MERTENS

When creating freely or in his commissioned work, Wolf Mertens (b. 2001) is always in search of timeless balance. To him, creativity is not a philosophical escape; it is a craft. As a maker, he embraces the roles of discoverer and seeker, delving into the natural beauty found in the purity of imperfection and striking absence. His approach aims to maintain proximity to everyday life without dictating interpretations. This makes Wolf a valuable creative partner – compatible by nature – as a fruitful source of alternative paths that transcend right or wrong.

Wolf collaborates closely with the materials he employs, embodying the role of a multidisciplinary craftsman. His goal is to be as accessible as an independent artist as he is for assignments. For this young creator, the transcendental exists within the realm of the ordinary, implicitly interwoven with it. On his journey, the values of slowness and silence become an invitation to ritual, gradually unveiling the surprisingly complex layers of simplicity and modesty.
