Born in 1966, Jorg Van Daele began his sculpting education in 1989 with sculptor Emiel Uyterhoeven and has worked as a professional sculptor since 2001. He has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions worldwide, including in China, Egypt, Peru, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and other locations. His artwork is included in private collections and public spaces around the world, including in Canada, Iran, Spain, Germany, Egypt, New Zealand, and Uzbekistan. In 2012, he won first prize in sculpture at the International Symposium (AADD) in Pöchlarn, Austria. In 2017, he received second prize at the 12th Simposio Internacional de Escultura de Valdivia in Chile.
His artwork is distinguished by the use of illusion, making sculptures appear as if they contain multiple stones when, in fact, they are made from a single block of stone. Most of his early works were crafted from Belgian Bluestone (or Petit Granit), but in recent years he has expanded his materials to include various types of marble, limestone, and granite.
In April 2016, Jorg opened his own gallery, The New Jorg Gallery (The N/J\G), where he exhibits artwork from international artists alongside his own. The N/J\G is located in Kalmthout, near Antwerp, Belgium.
