About Henri Banks - Creative Gifts

In 1978 I started to collect photographs from magazines, newspapers and my own work. With a simple copy machine I made my first graphics and spread them around my home town of Antwerp. I had the feeling that I had found my calling. This went on until I was called to serve in the Belgian army. After I served my term in the army I then devoted my time to my newly established family. After a chaotic attempt at being a husband and a father, I began a new life in Berlin. In 1996 I had found my way back to my roots and my creativity began to blossom again. With the dawning of the digital age, I felt like I was the Wizard of Oz! With these new tools at my fingertips I could finally do the things I always wanted to do! Then in 2012 I got the idea "Think with your Heart". After the first picture came the next one, and many more followed. A year later I had completed my first collection and was ready to go big time.Read their story
