Biography
Edward Luyken studied at the Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Rotterdam, and is also a sculptor in addition to being a filmmaker. In the 1970s, he moved to Paris, where he made his first films.
Since 1987, when a number of his films were shown at the ‘Film International’ festival in Rotterdam, Luyken has made at least one film per year. These have been in the form of diary entries, which also depict his artistic work. Recurring themes are, in addition to his sculptures: travel, stones, canoes, his sons, and his wife Therèse Breuls, who died in 2003 after sixteen years of chronic disease.
Luyken has lived and worked in Paris, New York, Tokyo, and Rotterdam, but has now been based in Amsterdam for several decades.
