"There are no tyrannies that would not try to limit art, because they can see the power of art. Art can tell the world things that cannot be shared otherwise. It is art that conveys feelings."

 - Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine

Already at the age of twenty, Jan Fabre makes insect drawings and transforms insects (e.g. beetles) into surreal objects. Fabre wants to show the world of insects, which we usually connect with fear and ugliness, from its most brilliant and interesting side.
