Belgian sculptor and graphic artist, Dominique Stroobant (born 1947 in Antwerp) currently resides and works in Carrara, Italy. He co-founded the Floating Stones Group in 1972 with Kenneth Davis and Philippe Toussaint. In 1977, Stroobant delved into the world of heliographs, using a pinhole camera to capture the ethereal movements of the sun. With numerous solo exhibitions in both domestic and foreign settings, as well as participation in group exhibitions and symposia centered on stone sculpture, Stroobant has stayed at the forefront of the art world.
In his formative years, Stroobant honed his craft by sculpting stones and experimenting with lithophones. In collaboration with painter Jef Verheyen, he crafted exquisite marble pieces in the 70s that he continues to create to this day. His interest in film blossomed in the 70s, inspiring him to create unique cameras and recorders of various shapes and sizes.
