This small granite sculpture from Sprimont, carved from a block weighing over 15 tons, represents a woman in love with freedom in a centrifugal movement. The artist specifies that what is called 'spread wings' (the 'veil' on the shoulders) is actually the aura of the character, symbolized by undulating lines.

SIOB (Jean-Marc BOIS) was born in 1963 in a small village in Charente, France. Naturally adventurous, he draws everything around him and yearns for great travels. After a childhood dream of becoming a sailor, a regrettable accident caused him to lose the use of one eye. Armed with his mechanic's diploma, he traveled many horizons before settling in Belgium, in Freschaux (Beauraing). After meeting Prince Decroy, who encouraged him in his artistic path, he decided to become a painter. In 1991, he transitioned to full-time art and created hundreds of canvases in a style unique to him. He also ventured into sculpture and gradually began selling his works. He established a school where budding artists come to train. A sculptor of extraordinary energy, Siob creates directly, without a model, solely from his imagination. His monumental creations stand throughout Europe, in France,

Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy. His satirical canvases, notably one depicting Bart de Wever assassinating the King, have stirred much ink. Rather than an artist, he describes himself as a 'jester of life.'
