"012022-XL5-collage" Painting

I am a Belgian abstract artist living and working in Spain.
I don't begin with an image in mind. I begin with a surface that offers possibilities rather than answers. Each painting develops through a series of decisions in which marks remain, disappear or return in unexpected ways. Instead of working towards a predetermined composition, I allow structure to emerge gradually through attention, revision and response to what is already there.
The most rewarding moment is when a painting begins to resist my intentions. From then on, every decision changes the possibilities for the next one, and I keep responding until the next step becomes inevitable.
My background in psychology continues to shape the way I think about perception. We rarely experience or remember the world as a complete picture; instead, we retain fragments, impressions and connections. That understanding influences my paintings, which unfold gradually rather than revealing themselves all at once.
My current body of work, Rhythms of the Unspoken, asks a simple question: how can structure emerge through the act of painting itself?
My work is held in private collections across Europe, Asia and the United States.
