From Kortrijk to Carrara and back.
Luc Verbeke creates his works in his atelier in Kortrijk, Belgium, and in the white marble quarries of Carrara, Italy, where he also selects the blocks of stone that he needs for particular artworks.

Making dust
and having fun.
The city of Carrara, where the white marble is quarried, is a wonderful environment for stone sculptors to create new work. And all that dust and Italian heat can make them very thirsty.
with Luca Marovino in Carrara, Italy
Carrara marble is one of Luc’s preferred materials to work with, because it is relatively soft when first quarried and it becomes extremely hard and strong with age.
