Emil Hüsstege: A Life Dedicated to Art and Digital Innovation
Early Years: An Oasis of Creativity
Born on 15 October 1963, Emil Hüsstege grew up amidst a creative environment. Surrounded by both well-known and emerging artists in one of the largest galleries in the Netherlands, his passion for art and creativity was ignited at an early age.
Feet in Two Worlds: Art and Technology
In his young adult years, Emil began experimenting with merging traditional art and technology.
Pioneer in Digital Art
Although Emil does not claim to have published groundbreaking works in the traditional sense, he created a unique bridge between digital art and craft through the development of Laqueprint. This innovative art reproduction technique brings digital images to life in a tangible and sustainable way. Made with sustainably sourced scaffolding and a high-gloss finish, each Laqueprint is a fusion of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship.
Philosophy and Values
Emil stresses the importance of respect in all human interactions, including those with artificial intelligence. He believes respect for creativity and innovation is essential to moving the art world forward.
Current Projects and Future Ambitions
Emil is currently actively involved in further developing Laqueprint and exploring generative art. His curiosity about new forms of expression and technology never ends, and he continues to look for ways to realise his creative vision.
