Luc Peumans As a child, Luc was already fascinated by light and technology, which inspired him to study engineering alongside his musical hobbies. His passion for light took off when he became a member of the Symbolica dance theatre. During his studies, he gained his first work experience as a light technician, designer and operator for national and international concerts and shows. This was the seed for the establishment of Painting with Light in 1999. Luc is a creative perfectionist who will never shy away from a challenge. He cherishes time with his two children Sam and Bo, and he also likes being on a golf course. He cites the “Clouseau in het Lang” concert from 2005 and the 2018 musical project ‘40-‘45 as memorable challenges, that succeeded thanks to groundbreaking and enthusiastic teamwork. Should we even mention that he is proud as punch of his team?
Jeroen Opsteyn Jeroen is a busy man, who has been giving his all as a light programmer and designer at Painting with Light for the last 6 years. Every day, he tries to come up with a new show in a creative way. He really is an ambiance creator who is quick and adept at programming shows. He enjoys the satisfaction of seeing everything come together during the first show after an intense start-up, and the positive reactions from the audience. As a loyal team player, giving away house secrets is not his thing: after all, what happens on tour ... He has particularly find memories of The Bodyguard, his first ‘big’ musical project at Painting with Light. It cost him six weeks of blood, sweat, and tears, but the result was a definite hit.
Katleen Selleslagh Katleen has been a video programmer and operator at Painting with Light for more than 10 years. According to colleagues, she is blessed with an extraordinarily sharp eye, and she is precise, solution-oriented, and persistent. She loves the challenge of new projects, and the energy from the audience during live shows. Among the many interesting projects, Throwback stands out in particular. Long days, it’s true, but the atmosphere at shows is amazing. The ‘old’ K3 farewell tour is still fresh in her memory. Katleen at the top!
Werner Dries Light has almost no secrets left for Werner - he has been an operating designer for 30 years. Or should it be designing operator? Whatever is on his schedule, he reckons every working day looks good. Even more so if television work is involved, as that is where he excels, according to his colleagues. Is there a show horse hiding inside him perhaps? He cites creativity and diversity as the nicest aspects of his work. He would describe himself as experienced (that’s lucky, so would we), cheerful, and professional. He loves all kinds of projects, because in his own words: “I love my job”.
Sieben Vannuffelen Sieben arrived at Painting with Light on a summer breeze halfway through 2021. He is our newest light programmer and operator. Although ‘new’ is not the right word, because he completed his internship with us. He already feels right at home in our main office. He will be lighting both fixed installations and shows (musicals, concerts, TV shows, etc.). His first project was the musical Daens, which he thoroughly enjoyed being part of. He has a positive attitude, will stubbornly carry on until a problem is resolved, and has the necessary resilience to stress. He says his best experience up to now is the Clouseau concerts, which he helped prepare during his internship.
