Born in Antwerp in 1986, Joachim Lambrechts has become an icon in the world of contemporary art. Although his journey began in the halls of a traditional art school, it took a detour as Joachim immersed himself in the streets of Antwerp, his canvas evolving from paper to city walls.

Graffiti became his voice, a medium to express and redefine his surroundings. But by 2010, Joachim returned to the classic canvas, blending his street art ethos with traditional techniques. His paintings, devoid of preliminary sketches, are a testament to his belief in spontaneity, echoing the freedom and unpredictability of his earlier street art days.

With a grandmother who nurtured his love for art and the pivotal exposure to Pierre Alechinsky's work, Joachim's dedication to the craft solidified. His themes, often drawing from memories and reflections of his past, range from Western movies to spontaneously evolved still lives. By 2014, Joachim had cemented his place in the art world with his first solo show, marking his decision to pursue art full-time. Exhibitions in numerous galleries followed, showcasing his unique blend of spontaneity, memory, and imagination.

For Joachim, creating art is an intuitive process, characterized by spontaneity and a deep connection with his medium. Eschewing sketches or detailed plans, he approaches each canvas as a new adventure, letting the piece evolve organically. His art studio, though chaotic, is a reflection of his creative process: spontaneous, passionate, and deeply personal.

Influenced by a myriad of sources, from music and movies to random street stickers, Joachim's work is an amalgamation of memories, inspirations, and moments of serendipity. Yet, amidst this wide array of influences, his connection with his grandmother stands out. She not only introduced him to the world of art but also instilled in him a belief in his own creativity.

Joachim's artworks, whether hanging in a pristine gallery or adorning the walls of someone's home, bring joy to viewers and himself alike. For him, the ultimate joy comes from knowing his pieces bring happiness to people across the globe. As an artist, he's become inseparable from his art, seeing it as a primary need, as essential as water or food.

In a world that often prioritizes structure and predictability, Joachim Lambrechts stands as a beacon for spontaneity, creativity, and the boundless possibilities of the human spirit.
