Romain Coemelck

This tour takes you through the life of Romain Coemelck, a visual artist.

He always opted for personal freedom, went his own way and described himself as a 'self-made' artist, an individualist, an artistic lonely wolf. In Eeklo he was known as "a do-gooder," but one with extraordinary talent and a keen sense of humor.
He remained true to his principles, walked the hardest road and proved that it was ultimately the right one. With justifiable pride, he could therefore sing along with Frank Sinatra: I did it my way!

Enjoy this heritage walk and keep the memory of Romain Coemelck alive!
