Between autumn leaves and soft light she stood —
one poppy, late, red and brave.
Sometimes simplicity is nature’s finest gesture.
A quiet moment, caught in color.

🍂 “Is it autumn?”
A touch of nature, a hint of humor, and a whisper of confusion…
Another part of my four-piece series, added on Oct 31st to my exhibition ‘Discovering Encounters’ at OLV Hospital in Aalst.
A few pieces have already revealed themselves – the story unfolds bit by bit 😉

Super Entrance – a new chapter within PLAY M
A red cap, a daring jump, and a touch of nostalgia.
The pixel hero joins the courtyard of colours, and layers.
Een rood petje, een sprong vol lef en een vleugje nostalgie.De held maakt zijn entree in de absurditeit van kleuren en lagen

Nieuwe gasten op het Binnenplein: Samson, de Gelaarsde Kat en nu een geel rund met roze snuit en een gevlekte hond. Diddle bewaakt rustig de schat.
New arrivals at the inner court: Samson, Puss in Boots and now a yellow cow with a pink snout and a spotted dog. Diddle keeps watch.

Nieuwe bezoekers gesignaleerd! Eén met paniek in de ogen, één cool als een blok en eentje die precies al spijt heeft dat hij gekomen is. #mauriceheymbeeck
New arrivals detected! One in full panic mode, one chill as a cube, and one already regretting life choices. Angry Bird approves.

Discovering Encounters – Aalst
Photographic and tactile art by Maurice Heymbeeck.
From October 31, 2025, I’ll add a new four-part series:
🎨 Four Flavours for Art
🍭 Eat and Sweet for Art (part 4)
Humour, and creativity —
even the wooden sticks wonder:
are we growing, dancing or just posing for art?

This weekend I placed my triptych “Rising Falling in Colors” close to the sea. In my temporary viewing space (Dijk 4 Westende – open until the end of next month) the works almost blend with the horizon. The stripes of color seem to move with the rhythm of the sea: rising and falling, like the waves.

Flowers and time united in Ostend - a day in ?
The exhibition I joined had the Venetian Galleries as its theme. Some of my works on this subject were shown in three galleries, including the charming Theobald’s boathouse. Later this year, they will also find their way into m@telier.

The Diddl figure is the unfortunate guardian of the treasure – rather lost in his role. He seems to guard something larger than himself.
That’s why two new figures appear: the guardians of the entrance. They protect the whole and bring balance. PLAY M grows further in layers and meaning.

The wooden box of treasures is now guarded by a little Diddl mouse. He clutches his find tightly… but does he perhaps unknowingly reveal what he protects?

Four passages, three with a stone, one with the empty box – a game guiding visitors inside.
Not random, but set by the rules of play and path.

Morning by the Dijle river.
Mist above the water, birds in the reeds.
The sun hid behind the trees,
but its orange glow touched the horizon.
A quiet moment of peace. 🌿🌅

Misschien geen grote kunst — maar wel: Maurice
Crisp and layered, this piece explores the tension between the solid and the open. The top shape feels sealed, yet remains receptive to interpretation. Tactile and deliberately constructed, leaving space for what is not revealed

Two green hazelnuts, fallen too soon.
One full and round, the other smaller, marked by a dark scar – still connected, as if the small one gently pulled the big one down.
Two images of the same story… but each with a different mood. Which one speaks to you most?

RISING FALLING IN COLOUR
Three photographs, silenced with black gesso. Colour bands slowly sink — same order on each canvas, but shifting downward. A visual descent, like breathing in colour. All resting on a found board, raw and unexpectedly right.
