Flemish in his own right, his work is inspired by the subtle light that rocks the great plains of the North, the generosity of the Flemings, the force of the winds that blow on the coasts. Painter of color, his works never cease to surprise us with their brilliance and their power. A very strong intensity emerges from each of the touches of color applied. As if by a miracle, a symphony of colored notes comes to caress our retina. Power and passion spring from Van Hecke's works, with moderation they will awaken a still life, with sometimes violent force, they will give a portrait an incomparable emotion. Each object, with a precise touch, takes a natural and authentic place in the composition. Numerous encounters during his life made his work evolve, his Flemish origins marked him, all these points are important to study to discover or better know Arthur Van Hecke.
