STEF JACOBS

Stef Jacobs (Antwerp, 1970) is a Belgian contemporary artist and the fourth generation of a family of printers. From an early age, he was surrounded by colour, form, and craftsmanship, laying the foundation for his artistic development. His creative career began as a graphic designer in the family printing business, where he mastered traditional printing techniques. Building on this technical background, he gradually developed his own distinctive artistic visual language over more than twenty-five years.

Today, he creates sculptures in which a single recognizable form continually evolves into new stories and meanings. Through his artistic universe, L'Ecurie de Marcelo, he is building an international collection that brings together art, culture, and human connection. His work is presented through galleries, international exhibitions, and diplomatic collaborations. From Belgium to the wider world, his sculptures have become symbols that connect people, cities, and cultures.

Through his concept of the Evohippus, Jacobs explores how art, like culture itself, is in a constant state of transformation. His sculptures are not static objects but vessels for new meanings that evolve alongside their surroundings. In doing so, he invites viewers not only to observe the work, but to actively participate in shaping its significance. For Stef Jacobs, art is never an endpoint, but the beginning of a story that continuously unfolds.
