Visual artist, lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
The starting point of her work is the legacy of the textile medium. With a personal approach, she explores techniques anchored in ancestral textile-making, transporting this heritage into a contemporary context. Her works, like every textile in existence, carry stories within their very fabric, they convey narratives, preserve memories and reveal embedded emotions.
Her work is a visual phenomenon that embodies a delicate plastic balance, first evoking an aesthetic response in the viewer. This presence with no singular direction, captures the gaze and mesmerizes through a symbiotic fusion of texture, tone, and light. These compositions and colors invite immediate viewing while simultaneously revealing sensitivity and multidimensionality. The tension within the composition itself becomes an exploration of contradiction. There is a constant play between opposing forces, such as control and randomness, craft and minimalism, or chance and order, which reveals the mathematical system of the loom.
Naturally colored threads pile up rhythmically, in constant movement, line by line, with gestures between the past and the future. The hues are anchored in the canvas surface, they radiate and unfold through the composition. These interwoven colors, rather than superimposed layers of paint, form the essence of her practice. Chromatic, fuzzy or flickering impressions may appear, creating tangible and pictorial images. These configurations of woven band fabrics, arranged time-fragments, form an abstract image. Mounted on frames, the fabrics make it possible to see the colors in vibration, transforming into painting-like works – des tableaux.
Through the act of stretching her hand-woven canvases, she defines the square format. It is more than a compositional choice, it is a statement of autonomy for the textile which has become central. In Western art history the square has established itself as a fundamental geometric form, a symbol of modernist experimentation that challenges notions of composition and perspective. While the textile medium is traditionally associated with femininity and craft, here it is elevated into the visual domain, intertwining textile practice with representation and iconography. By using it as both surface and subject, she blurs the line between these notions, seeking to transcend traditional image-making and questioning the very nature of an image.
