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. We rarely experience or remember the world as a complete picture; instead, we retain fragments, impressions and connections. That awareness informs the way I paint. Rather than offering immediate answers, I make paintings that reveal themselves gradually, inviting sustained looking and allowing each viewer to discover their own relationships within the work.

My current body of work, Rhythms of the Unspoken, grows from this way of working. Each painting is an attempt to discover how structure can emerge through the act of painting itself.

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

Work regularly featured in curated collections on Saatchi Art.
