Sam Thys is an artist based in Antwerp, Belgium.

Welcome to my corner of the artistic world! I’m Sam Thys, a visual arts master’s student with a deep-rooted passion for photography and a unique love for nature. My journey as an artist has always been intertwined with the natural environment, allowing me to explore the delicate balance between human presence and the beauty of the wild.

Currently, I’m diving into the fascinating world of algae, transforming this often-overlooked organism into vibrant pieces of art. Through my work, I aim to highlight the intricate beauty and vital importance of nature, inviting viewers to see the world from a fresh perspective.

In my artistic practice, I seek to bridge the gap between art and ecology, using photography not just as a medium, but as a means to connect with and celebrate the intricate ecosystems that surround us. Each project is a reflection of my reverence for the environment and a call to appreciate its wonders.

Join me on this creative journey as I continue to experiment with the organic forms and colors found in nature, creating art that resonates with the heartbeat of the earth.
