He has always been drawn to drawing and painting. After studying computer graphics in Namur, he began illustrative studies in Brussels. Ian is what could be called "a true Belgian" because, having spent his childhood in Leuven and his adolescence in the Ardennes, he has been living in Brussels for a few years. Apart from the time he devotes to painting and illustration, he works as a bookseller specializing in children's literature. He is passionate about this field and had long wanted to combine his art and the book for children.
