B I O G R A F I E :
Carla Stichelbaut known as C4U, is a creative artist.
For her, art is primarily an emotional and passionate activity. Inner experiences and stimuli find their way into her works.
Photography did have her interest since very young age. As into all other areas of art she is a self-taught artist.
She has built-up throughout the years a lot of experience in creating digital surreal landscapes and scenes, for which she is well-known on a number of specialized websites.
She combines real photos with self-imagined fantasy worlds, which leads to unique compositions. She really likes surreal environments, hence it is no surprise that the work of Salvador Dali and René Magritte (the last one is also referencing towards her home-country Belgium) inspires and influences her a lot.
Often her work contains a hidden dark side, which makes it on the other hand also very recognizable.
Since December 2013, C4U is exploring a brand new path. She found her way back to traditional art by using charcoal and pastel techniques.
By means of self-study and courses she wants to improve step by step her capabilities in this exciting type of art.
In addition, she exploring the vibrant and delicate world of aquarelle paintings.
Her creations are peaceful and encourage her to further develop her knowledge and expertise in this area of art.
In her art nudes express human vulnerability in a very identifiable way.
The watercolors bring out her love for nature.
For C4U art is oxygen.
The extra dimension to life.
A way to reconnect with the pure values of life.
