I\u2019m Mike van Leeuwen (1995), born and bred in the picturesque village of Grashoek in the Netherlands. From a very early age, I\u2019ve felt a natural affinity for design, materials and the creation of all things art. Even as a child, I began to produce personal artworks for my friends and family. I began my metalworking career with specialisation in welding. But the time has now come to move forward, prompting me to become a full-time artist. Thanks to my practical background, my pieces are not only functional and appealing but also of top quality, guaranteeing many years of pleasure.<\/p><p>My mission lies in creating an all-important personal relationship between you and your commissioned artwork. Before going anywhere near the materials, we need to become better acquainted, if I am to produce a piece that touches you personally. This site gives you an idea of what has become my trademark: combining cool metal elements with the warm tones of wood. All the artworks on this site are a direct reflection of my personal sources of inspiration and interests.<\/p><p>Would you like to know more or are you simply looking for something new? Feel free to contact me for a personal appointment, without further obligation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e69b5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"2e69b5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"http:\/\/mikevanleeuwen.com\/en\/contact\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Contact<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over Mike Mijn naam is Mike van Leeuwen (1995), geboren en getogen in Grashoek, Nederland.
