Vincent Messelier is born in Kortrijk. Belgium on 06/10/67. He started his first painting in May 2006. He is a completely self-taught, artist who is very passionate about his art. Vincent paints from his heart and soul with some jazzy music on the background. Depending on the moment or his mood, some other music can inspire his work. In March 2011 he decided to sell his credit management office, he had started up in 1992 and chose to live his real passion… Art! In November 2011 he became member of ‘Dubai art centre International’ where he exhibited his works and also kept his own art studio. In April that year he exhibited in New York City , Barcelona and Bari. Later followed Den Haag Amsterdam, Brussels, Rome, Palermo, Spoleto, Stuttgart, Paris, Copenhagen, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Miami, and is invited for many more like London, Toronto, Casablanca, Monaco, Lissabon, Istanbul, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Berlin, Bejing, Venice, Milan… and is also mentionend in several artbooks for museums and art collectors. He has developed his own kind of style: "meridianism". He works with pallet knives and you can always recognize vertical and horizontal stripes and lines that are corrections of the chaos he sometimes put on the canvas. Acryl is his medium and sometimes he combines with pieces of wood, foam or other materials. He also started a second line for hospitality and business. A concept where he takes pictures of his own works where he combines pictures (that he took himself) of several themes, like horses, historical buildings, birds, cars, sports, eagles... These works are mostly projected on an original painting or at least details. Messelier is also cooperating with other artists and photographer because he is awared that art in the future and working together with the same passionated collegues is an incredible synergy and magnificent.He works also on customer demand. He won several international awards and appeared in several artbooks worldwide that recognizes him in the artworld as contemporary master.

An artist and his creations:
'Vincent Messelier is a very talented artist. Art is in all the facettes in his life. He is painting his impressions of the world with symbolic references and a story that has a lot to tell. His works are about the life and give joy, energy and positivism...'
'A relation between the creator and the admiror is the most complex and unexplainable that ever had existed. Without words, there is an incredible magnificent communication that reflects the inner passion between them. The art you buy from an artist is not simply an object but it is an investment, An investment in a piece of a heart and soul... And even a piece of the creator’s life, because this piece of art is not only created as result of hours of errors and experimentation, but also years of frustrations and moments of pure joy. Art is the most valuable way of communication, with knowing that the admiror and creator can live or understand it in a different way and knowing there is no right or wrong, only a strong powerfull connection. This is art, touching people in their heart without wanting to hurt, doing big efforts to make people happy with the beauty of the passion and the power of imagination. This is my vision of art, the way I make it, right from my heart and soul. Art is my second skin!'
