Oscar Santens is a skilled craftsman, who gained hands-on experience with steel in the port of Antwerp. Beyond his technical knowledge, he enjoys working unconventionally; this independence keeps his thinking free, allowing him to explore alternative approaches and perspectives. Through his work, he creates a tension field between the industrial and the organic.

Each of his objects is shaped solely by hand—carried, dragged, and worked into form. This raw authenticity gives his work a unique beauty and forges a profound connection between maker and artifact. He brings his pieces into being, experiencing the process as it takes form, guiding them while they take their place in reality.
