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.

He has developed his own kind of style: “meridianism”.

He works with pallet knives and you always can recognize vertical and horizontal stripes and lines that are corrections of the chaos he sometimes put on the canvas. They are referring to the meridians of the Globe. Acryl is his medium and sometimes he combines with pieces of wood, foam or other materials.

In November 2011 he became member of ‘Dubai art center 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 mentioned in various artbooks for museums and art collectors. 

He won several international awards and appeared in various artbooks worldwide that recognizes him in the artworld as contemporary master.

Vincent Messelier is a very professional artist who likes to work on customer demand for his clients, giving advice and communicating with the executive procurators, designers and owners. Art is his second skin and his passion reaches the highest level.
