I am truly honoured that my painting ‘He is not here’ will be finding a new permanent home in the Belgian Embassy in Dublin when the Zurich Portrait Prize exhibition finishes in Crawford Gallery in Cork in April 2020.
It has been a true joy to see such keen interest in my art from Ambassador of Belgium to Ireland Mr De Bauw, who visited both the exhibition and my studio in recent months. This has led to the acquisition of the painting as part of the Belgian State Art Collection.
