Boy & Erik Stappaerts is both an artist and an entrepreneur. While he collaborates with gallerists, mentors, and curators, he has proven to be self-sufficient in both his art and the market. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family taught him valuable skills, but it did not fully support his choice to pursue a career in art. Inspired by his artistic grandfather and a neighbor who collected abstract art, Boy & Erik Stappaerts was drawn to the art world from an early age.

After studying at St. Lucas in Brussels and the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, he worked with prominent figures like gallerists Aurel Scheibler, Marie Puck Broodthaers, and Ronny Van de Velde, and curators Johan Pas, Philippe Pirotte, Luc Tuymans, and others, showcasing his work nationally and internationally.

Boy & Erik has developed his own abstract language, which he conveys both visually and verbally. His relentless pursuit of research and conversation fuels his artistic journey, as he invites anyone interested to explore his world and studio.
