In Delhphine Böel's language, titles, texts and words are tremendously important and revealing. For the Belgian artist, who was born out of an extramarital affair of the emeritus King Albert II of Belgium, the onomatopoeia "bla-bla-bla-bla" initially alluded to gossip and talk of the people. However, in 2020 it took on a new meaning: before suing his father, he painted a work with the words "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah" entitled "My duty to remain silent". Since then, the conjunction "Blah, blah, blah, blah" has become a regular feature of her production.

Delphine Boël is an officially recognized princess since 2020 and a Belgian sculptor. She is the extramarital daughter of King Albert II of Belgium with Baroness Sibylle de Selys Longchamps. She trained at the Chelsea School of Art, London (1991). He has participated in numerous international exhibitions and events.
