Michaël Borremans (born in 1963 in Geraardsbergen) is a Belgian painter and filmmaker who lives and works in Ghent. Borremans studied at the Hogeschool voor Kunst en Wetenschappen Sint-Lucas (College of Arts and Sciences Saint-Lucas) in Brussels. Originally trained as a photographer, he turned his attention to drawing and painting in the mid-nineties. He uses old photographs of people and landscapes as inspiration for his work.
