Miriam Van Cleemput

Water landscapes, non-existent and staged.
Transparent azure blues mixed with greenish hydrophytes and luminous metaphors.
By using different materials such as oil paint, lino print, painted and printed paper, and own photo prints,
layered and detailed atmospheric images are created.
Poetic landscapes full of color, texture and symbolism.

A great source of inspiration is the lush garden with an abundance of trees and plants,
the pond with the flashing gold ore and the chattering birds that fly around in this jungle.
A private paradise world is created, interwoven with ecological messages.

Light and vibrant colors: an illuminating liberation in this dark and violent vale of tears.

Blue thread throughout the paintings: water, nature, plants.
“The fluidity, freedom and infinity that are so characteristic of water fascinate me enormously.
That’s why I always look for water and we also dug a large pond in our garden.
I feel good around water, because water is essential and the source of all life”

Miriam Van Cleemput studied monumental arts at Luca, Ghent.
