The triple life of Luc De Clerfayt...

With water and color

After a few years working in advertising, Luc De Clerfayt specialized in motor sports at the beginning of the 90s. He thus combines his two passions of drawing and speed.
His experience as an advertising designer will serve him well to carry out decoration projects for racing cars and motorcycles.
He also develops his expertise as an illustrator. His paintings are intended for promotional posters of international events, private collections, to adorn a book cover or enrich the content of a magazine, to celebrate particular moments in the lives of pilots and teams...

He also has the opportunity to give free rein to his imagination by creating humorous drawings.

With a screen and a mouse

The advent of virtual images will lead Luc De Clerfayt to evolve in his work techniques by specializing in computer graphics.
This change in professional approach led him to collaborate very actively in the organization of events with Pole Position, the company that created, among others, the Luxembourg Motor Show where he is in charge of all visual communication.

His passion for motorcycles leads him to also take care of the exhibitions dedicated to them.

The return to basics

Years pass, passions remain. Luc De Clerfayt now enjoys more free time and returns to his first loves: his brushes!

The good news is that he is now at your disposal to discuss a project close to your heart for a professional need or for your pleasure.

Opposite, you will find some examples of his professional background.
