His work does not make any sharp criticism, metaphoric
reflection, and sociological considerations. Bruno Vekemans
is only interested in the actual image, the picture that
acquires power and authority through its own content.
He shows scenes from reality which will make you quiver with emotion. His paintings depict moments of tranquillity and intimacy although they are placed within the context of activity. Some viewers may experience melancholy, quietness or a special atmosphere but this is real beauty in the eyes of Bruno Vekemans. His palette reveals much about him: colours that balance between opening and covering but which are always intense and convincing. "Why do I paint? Because the world is a strange and unreal place for me. Because groups of people make me nervous. Because you do not need anybody to be able to paint. To banish my fears by creating something beautiful. It's slightly autistic: only painting works while everything else fails. Because painting, music and literature are important and all the rest is superfluous."
