The future of stone sculpture
- • Dorian combines classic and digital techniques
- • He is often inspired by nature and mythology
- • Working sustainably is an important goal for him
Young stone sculptor Dorian Vanhorenbeeck studied and worked in more than five countries. He received training in traditional carving by hand, but also acquired expertise in digital creation with artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. “The profession of stone sculptor has evolved throughout the centuries, always integrating new techniques,” says Dorian. “We must use innovative technology as a bridge to new possibilities.” By harnessing the power of machine learning and algorithms, he not only explores new horizons, but also works more efficiently and sustainably. “By optimising your working process, you spend less energy and use fewer materials. In the field of stone sculpting, the materials are limited in quantity, and it is important to think of the next generations.”
