Willen Van Weeghel
Kinetic Design
During van Weeghel’s studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Amersfoort, Netherlands, he created a wall piece for an assignment. As he was organizing the pieces in order to find the best composition, he had an epiphany: “It would be great if all the pieces actually moved through all the positions.” This was his first piece of kinetic art.
Bold patterns
Van Weeghel was struck by the symbiosis between art and technology and decided to become a professional artist. He carved his niche for kinetic art and has never looked back.
Along his journey as a professional artist, van Weeghel has used his workshop and technical equipment to his advantage by starting a successful business producing stainless steel products, carrying out welding work, and cleaning machinery.
Dedication
Today, at 62 years old, van Weeghel’s dedication to his work is stronger than ever. His pieces have been sold to private collectors and can be found in museum installations and public spaces from hospitals to corporate offices across the Netherlands and in galleries around the world.
His work has also been featured at art fairs such as Art Miami, the internationally recognized show focused on modern and contemporary art.
