James Ensor, Inspired by Light

Get ready for the most enchanting experience of the year: James Ensor, Inspired by light. An immersive experience full of art, light and imagination, inspired by the brilliant painter James Ensor.

The Dominican Church in Ostend will be transformed into a world of colour and movement. You step inside a living canvas where Ensor's art comes to life, and in which you are right in the middle.
During the spectacle, we take you through Ensor's life, make a journey through his creative mind and his masterpieces come to life in a unique and compelling way.

This is a spectacle for all ages, bringing together art lovers, families and curious minds. Whether you are a connoisseur of Ensor's work or only just getting to know his oeuvre, it promises to be an unforgettable experience that will awaken your senses and feed your imagination.

Art and Technology

With our passionate animation team, we have the ambitious goal of bringing to life the life and beautiful artworks of James Ensor. We are determined to capture his unique vision, expression and artistic flair in vibrant animations that will enchant audiences.

By combining traditional animation techniques with cutting-edge AI algorithms, we can transform the characteristic brushstrokes, colours and shapes of Ensor's paintings into moving images.

Our aim is to bridge the gap between art and technology, and make James Ensor's artworks accessible to a wide audience.
