The dream, the ultimate freedom,
Sometimes too big, too vast,
…it scares,
Leaving one's habits, one's chains, one's servitudes,
These habits that suffocate us, that reassure us.
So, we withdraw,
We hide our heads,
We place our feet, our hands,
Like bars,
To be able to say…
…you see, it's impossible, …a dream,
…it was only an impossible dream.

Martine Magritte is a contemporary Belgian sculptor, born in 1951 in Jumet, Belgium. She studied at the Lycée Royal d'Ixelles, where her talent for visual arts was recognized by her teacher, the renowned Belgian painter Berthe Dubail, a friend of René Magritte. Inspired by Dubail’s guidance, Martine pursued her passion for sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Namur.
Specializing in stone, wood, and bronze, Martine often integrates metal into her works, creating pieces that reflect her deep connection to her materials. Her sculptures embody her way of feeling life rather than merely observing it, translating the essence of her experiences into tactile, expressive forms. Decades of dedication have only intensified her passion, and her work continues to resonate with a profound sensitivity to the passage of time and the richness of life.
