About Me


Blacksmith and metalsculptor. After finishing the ‘Strange Fruit’ series, a collection of plant-like wrought iron metalsculptures, and building the largest artistic scale model of our solar system in the world – which consists of 11 monumental sculptures in 9 Belgian cities – he returns to what he likes doing most: figurative art.Here he presents his ‘Angels & Demons’, life-size heroic warrior women, made of a variety and combination of metals, such as mild steel, burnt copper, stainless steel, cast bronze and aluminium. Inspired by an overdose of Sci-Fi movies in his youth, tons of fantasy literature and more weird dreams than he cares for, these ‘metal maidens’ have a definate dark, warrior-like feel, without forfeiting their femininity. Metal, a cold and lifeless material, is cut, hammered, shaped and welded into organic, living creatures of dreams and nightmares.“Self-taugh artist, MAG and TIG welder, dreamer and illigitimate son of Hephaestos. Let Tim Roosen take you into his strange world of angels, warriors, demons and androids.”Tim Roosen is represented by Strychnin Gallery Berlin/London/NYC.
