Linda Coppens

Linda Coppens is a Belgian contemporary abstract painter. From an early age she demonstrated an innate artistic talent but could not pursue an art education at that time, instead she earned a Master in Psychology. But her interest in art remained and about twenty years later she pursued an art education at the Academy of Visual Arts in Liedekerke, Belgium. In 2020, she moved to Torrevieja, Spain, where she currently resides.
In her colourful paintings she mobilizes colour, texture and gestural mark making as a structure for the creation of abstract compositions to evoke a sense of emotional balance in the viewer.
Linda Coppens has exhibited extensively in Belgium, US, France and Luxembourg. Her art is found in many private collections worldwide.

Using a mix of mediums that includes acrylic paint, oil and cold wax, I layer my mediums using non-traditional tools and techniques. My inspirations include the unexpected feelings and thoughts generated by poetry; the weather worn surfaces of derelict urban buildings; and the vibrant and bountiful visual world of nature.
In order to evoke the various realms of human experience that inspire me, I surrender to process, allowing my paintings to manifest slowly according to their own rhythm ...
