Hello Dear Visitor,
Born in Belgium, I have transformed my hobby into a professional carreer in 1989, when I started to work with a Brussels troupe of face painters named `Les Quatre Bulles`. With them, I have painted thousands of faces in prestigious events such as the Jazz Festival of Montreal, the Universal Exposition of Sevilla, the Fantasy Film Festival of Brussels... but also in street fairs, corporate and birthday parties, festivals...
In 1993, me and my wife moved to Montreal, where we founded our own face painting team, which still exists today under the name of Faceination. I also made my first teaching experiences with local artists or those from the Cirque Du Soleil, for the show Alegria.
Since then, I never stopped to teach all around the world: Italy, France, Belgium,UK, Netherlands, Canada, USA, Australia, Taïwan... I participate also to many face painting conventions, doing demonstrations , and I often collaborate to the Face and Body Art International Magazine.
I really enjoy the hard and subtle challenge of teaching so many different face painters, finding for each one a new, adapted way to explain my techniques and plant seeds of creativity...
Now I'm looking forward to meet you all very soon again!
Olivier Zegers.
