Born in 1988, Fabian Delberghe embodies the essence of an artistic journey shaped by the diversity of his experiences and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Before achieving the artistic renown he enjoys today, Fabian built his foundation through unique life stages: professional sports, the artisanal discipline of working alongside Compagnons du Devoir in cabinetmaking, and mastering second-fix trades. These varied experiences instilled in him precision, patience, and respect for materials—essential qualities in becoming the accomplished artist he is today.

Early on, Fabian made his mark in the field of renovation and the design of architectural rehabilitation projects. His clients saw in him not only a talented artist but also a trusted advisor, capable of understanding their needs to shape spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Passionate about architecture, sculpture, and aesthetics, he understood the importance of living in a harmonious environment. At just 24, he founded his own company, quickly moving into luxury projects. This company became the breeding ground for his creativity, allowing him to experiment and refine his work with materials like wood and plaster.

It was during a project at a client’s home that Fabian encountered an artistic revelation: faced with a tree, he felt a creative impulse, a desire to transform and transcend the material. He began sculpting, reassembling, and creating curves, giving birth to his first artwork, which was soon exhibited. This moment marked a turning point in his career. In 2023, following this new path, Fabian created his first puzzle piece—an artwork rich in symbolism. For him, the puzzle represents society and the place each individual must find within it. Each piece is unique, like each human being, and the ultimate purpose of existence is to discover one’s rightful place within this complex whole. Through these puzzle works, Fabian explores universal themes such as human relationships, life in society, and complementarity, and he speaks of "assembling life paths."

Fabian chose staff as his preferred material, paying homage to the nobility of historical works like the rosettes that adorn monuments. Staff offers him an ideal playground for exploring shapes, focusing on details, and meeting the high standards he sets for himself. Locked away in his studio, he dedicates himself to his craft, constantly perfecting his techniques. After numerous trials, he discovered reverse metal paint, a medium that enhances transparency and enriches his works with an almost mystical dimension. Each creation thus becomes a technical and artistic challenge, a play of shapes and textures where ideas endlessly flow.

Today, Fabian Delberghe is recognized for his ability to fuse traditional craftsmanship with contemporary creativity, producing works that resonate with depth and complexity. His art invites us to reflect on the individual’s place in society and the harmony that each of us, in our own way, seeks to attain.
