Samuel Dejong
1971, The Netherlands
As a self-taught artist with a medical background in surgery, bio-engineering and design, he stretches the limits of technical as well as aesthetic potential, applying the precision of a surgeon to fine art. For only with an open mind, free of preconceptions, can one accomplish what initially seemed impossible, and thereby elevate something relatively inconspicuous – or disconcerting even – to the level of art. He takes his role seriously – that one of an artist who wishes to trigger the awakening of the consciousness.
