Observing the sculptures of Peter Bostoen, one can remark his aim for a soft and harmonic line.  He holds on to this sensitive line while he manages to eliminate all features that possibly could disturb it.  This is a real accomplishment.

He also uses geometrical shapes, although never in a prominent way.  His art is all about a symbolic representation of the human figure in which the composing volumes form a very balanced unity.  In this sense his sculptures, the sculptor also represents animals, are characterized with a recognizable signature.

But the main subject in the art of Peter Bostoen is the human figure and his work uncovers a determined style.

Every close observer has to admit that he possesses a creative mind and so does not belong to that group of artists who blame slowly ness on a lack of inspirational energy.  Meanwhile he was also active in the architectural field.  The 2 light pillars at the entrance of the Antwerp Bourla theatre are from his hands.

Peter Bostoen has an impressive list of exhibitions and even into the furthest corners of the world. Africa has a prominent place in this list. He has not only been active as a sculptor but also as an aquarellist although he presently focuses on his sculptures.  His young talent was recognized by the selection of his participation in the national contest Mark Macken for sculptures at the academy of fine arts of Antwerp.

Since his first exhibition in 1979, Peter Bostoen never fled a confrontation with the public, and this not only close to home but even far away in distant countries
