Jan Verlinden refers to himself as a Scenery Sculptor, specialising in the creation and design of green spaces for exceptional country homes and castles in Belgium and France. His work emphasises a harmonious balance between humanity and nature through intuitive design. In this first monograph, he showcases his eight favourite garden and landscape designs from recent years, richly illustrated with his stunning drawings and accompanying texts. Jan is introduced by three prominent figures in the field: architect Bart Moors, Solitair owner Dirk Cools, and the Pas-Partoe architecture and interior design studio.
World-renowned photographer Thomas De Bruyne (Cafeine, with over 140,000 followers on Instagram) has taken on the challenge of capturing the landscape and garden poetry of Jan Verlinden in stunning photographs.
