Pierre Vermeulen’s creative process blends meditation, ritual, and the exploration of archetypes and symbols. He draws inspiration from both ancient and modern influences, including mystical spirituality. Vermeulen reflects on the idea of divine presence and the intersection of the sacred and profane, using materials like ex-voto casts, sweat, and gold and silver leaf to embody these themes.

His work involves repetitive, ritualistic actions that merge the distinction between performance and meditation, leading to paintings that explore dualities like light and dark, masculine and feminine.

Through his exploration of mythology, ritual, and human performativity, Vermeulen aims to engage with the unconscious and spiritual dimensions of existence, inviting viewers to look deeper within and confront the complexities of their own inner worlds.
