Michel Poort is drawn to the simplicity of the form as well as the emotional complexity it carries. By reducing the heart to its essence, space is created for interpretation. Each work thus becomes a carrier of meaning, shaped by the memories, emotions, and stories of the viewer.
Remarkably, the heart became his theme without him consciously choosing it. Initially, it was simply a shape that kept recurring in his work. Over time, he discovered that it was more than just a symbol; it became a language, a way to express emotion without words. It reminds us that beneath layers of thoughts and expectations, there is always feeling. In a world that often moves too fast, the heart brings us back to what truly matters.
The works of Michel Poort are primarily acquired by private collectors, art enthusiasts, and art advisors who are searching for meaningful contemporary art.
