A Multidisciplinary Vision
Philippe Van Snick was a Belgian multidisciplinary artist who was active as a painter, photographer, videographer, draftsman, and sculptor. Born in Ghent, Belgium, he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent.

This palette included primary colors of red, yellow, and blue, secondary colors of orange, green, and violet, colors with physical value such as gold and silver, and non-colors like white and black. His themes often explored the concepts of the ellipse, dualism, and the decimal system.
