Eddy Heindrickx is a self-taught visual artist. Since 2000, he has been developing an artistic practice centered on paper and cardboard, primarily through modular origami. His approach combines precise folding, assembly, and the repurposing of recycled materials. He has participated in group exhibitions in Gabon and internationally.
A native of Lastourville, Eddy Heindrickx lives and works in Libreville, where his home serves as his studio. He was introduced to origami as a teenager by a Brazilian nun and quickly developed his own style, which he now uses to make a living. He creates vases, baskets, and lamps from folded flyers and business cards, sometimes mounted on repurposed containers.
Each piece requires a great deal of calculation and patience: a vase measuring about 20 centimeters takes roughly three days to fold and assemble, and one of his large baskets consists of more than 2,400 pieces. His work was recognized in 2012 in Burkina Faso at an international crafts fair in Ouagadougou, and was showcased in 2017 in Russia at the World Festival of Youth and Students.
