Bio - Portfolio - Vision CRILO is the name of this artist (° Waregem (Belgium), 1966). He is the creator of the so-called ‘rocrilo’, a small handmade stone, composed of earth, water and other natural materials, then colored and in the end petrified, as if it were a rock. Hence the name ‘rocrilo’, a contraction of ‘rock’ and ‘CRILO’. With his small stones CRILO transforms various feelings and themes into colorful works of art. From a spontaneous interplay between emotion, creativity, talent and craftsmanship, layered creations arise, which one cannot find anywhere else in the world. CRILO also imagines and creates art projects with LEDs. Still, all his works are part of a Limited Edition. Artist by creativity … For 15 years now CRILO has been creatively active, quirkily and innovatively busy. He has developed numerous products that do not exist anywhere else, and he has patents on them worldwide. Yet CRILO has been active as an artist more or less anonymously. That lee allowed him to develop his own, unique art form, with which he gradually wants to come out more. All this time he has consciously chosen not to exhibit through galleries, events,…. However, he has already been asked several times by renowned galleries to work exclusively for them, with the promise that his works would be exhibited a few weeks later in New York, Saint Petersburg, Doha, ... and would be sold at prices up to five times higher. But, beyond a certain renown, he prefers to keep some kind of artistic freedom. Otherwise he would not have been able to sell through this current channel, for example. In the first instance every buyer of his work will always buy because he finds the work beautiful and suitable for himself. But for 10 years in a row now the artist himself has justly been raising the price of his works by 15 to 20%, and he will continue to do so in the future. In that way every buyer of CRILO’s work can also see this purchase as a ‘nice investment’ while he/she can enjoy the beautiful work in the living room, at the office, ... ‘for free’. The price of his works may thus have reached the same level in a number of years (up to five times higher), but now it will be the buyers instead of the galleries that will acquire the added value. And CRILO grants them this. That is why CRILO has already been able to deliver many diverse works on all continents, even to sheikhs (UAE) and to the entourages of world leaders.
