With ‘Maxime’, artist Yves Bynens gives shape to a story of resistance, perseverance and hope. His XXL duck bears 38 colourful brushstrokes: 38 moments of resistance, 38 times refusing to give up, 38 steps towards the light.

“The vibrant colours and expressive paint splashes stand for hope. For energy. For the strength to bring colour back into life, even after a setback. After darkness comes colour,” says Bynens.
