Since 1990 Stefaan van Biesen has made walks which he documents and displays in drawings, installations, models, texts, videos and photographs. He regards the act of walking as a kind of subjective thought process in the urban and natural landscape. He refers to the concept of ‘the body as measure unit’, using the senses and the body as instruments of knowledge, experience and creativity: art as a tool of connection with an ecological approach.

As a multidisciplinairy artists he spends an important part of his artistic creativity on exchanges and collaborations with other artists, scientists and experts from various disciplines. His work is in direct dialogue with his environment.

He is a member of the ArtScie Exhibits community Berlin [Humboldt University] and co-founder of the Milena principle, [an independent international art platform operating in Europe with poet & performer Geert Vermeire, Anna-Maria Mestdagh (production) & art historian Filip Van de Velde (SMAK Ghent]. They started 'The Walking Body' in 2018 and 'Made of Walking' in 2016. He worked as an artist in Belgium, Netherlands, France, Germany, UK, Poland, Italy, Serbia, Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Serbia, Brazil, USA and China.
