Smurf Statue, statue in City of Brussels, Belgium
The Smurf Statue is a white sculpture in Brussels showing a cartoon character with a red pointed hat sitting on a mushroom. The figure has its hands raised and is smiling, while the smooth, glossy surface gives the artwork a contemporary feel.
The statue was created by artist Maryline Garbe and stands today as an artwork in Brussels. It represents an important figure from Belgian entertainment history that has connected people around the world for decades.
The character comes from a Belgian comic series that became famous around the world and shaped childhoods across many generations. Many people recognize the blue figure immediately, as it remains deeply connected to how people remember their youth.
The artwork is located in a public space in the city and is freely accessible to visitors at all times. It is easy to reach on foot and offers a good spot for photographs and pausing to look around.
The white surface of the statue is unusual for a character normally known in bright colors. This makes the artwork a surprising interpretation that invites viewers to think differently about the familiar figure.
