About

Linda at work

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, not answers. Each painting develops through a sequence of decisions in which marks remain, disappear or return in unexpected ways. Rather than working towards a predetermined composition, I allow structure to emerge gradually through attention, revision and response to what is already present.

The moment that interests me most is when a painting begins to resist my intentions. From then on, every decision changes the possibilities for the next one. Some marks disappear, others remain, and unexpected relationships begin to emerge. Instead of steering the work back towards a fixed idea, I follow these developments until the painting finds its own coherence.

My background in psychology continues to influence how I think about perception: how attention shifts, how separate elements begin to relate, and how meaning can emerge without being fixed in advance. This awareness informs the way I paint, but the paintings are not illustrations of ideas. They develop through the process of making and through what becomes visible along the way.

My current body of work, Rhythms of the Unspoken, grows from this way of working. I am interested in how structure can emerge through the act of painting itself, and in stopping while something remains unresolved—when the elements hold together without becoming completely settled.

Work held in private collections in Europe, Asia and the United States.
