Phil Akashi is Belgian artist who, in his expressive research, combines European academic training with a love of Oriental art and philosophy. His travels to Asia are characterised by expressive stages that coincide in a research based on balance between art and technical practice, which finds its main expression in the creation of seals produced on different supports.
