Visual artist, lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
The starting point of her practice is a perceptual dialogue between time and materiality.
She explores techniques rooted in ancestral textile-making, translating the heritage of the textile medium into a contemporary context. Her works contain stories within their very fabric; they preserve memories and reveal deep-seated emotions.
Her works are images embedded in material, visual phenomena that embody a delicate plastic balance and first evokes an aesthetic response in the viewer. This presence, with no singular direction, captures the gaze and mesmerizes through a symbiotic relationship between texture and colour. The inner tension within the composition becomes an exploration of contradiction; there is a constant pull between opposing forces, such as chance and control.
Naturally dyed threads accumulate rhythmically, woven line by line, through repetitive gestures between past and future. The hues are anchored within the surface of the canvas, unfolding throughout the composition. These interwoven colours, rather than superimposed layers of paint, form the essence of her practice.
Chromatic and flickering impressions may appear, creating a tangible presence. These configurations of woven band fabrics—arranged time fragments—form an abstract, pictorial image which challenges our perception. Mounted on frames, the canvas makes it possible to see the colours in vibration, transforming into painting-like works—des tableaux.
Through the act of stretching the hand-woven canvases, she defines the square format. More than a compositional choice, it is a statement of autonomy for the textile, which has been placed central.
In Western art history, the square has established itself as a fundamental geometric form, a symbol of modernist experimentation that challenges conventional notions of composition. While the textile medium has traditionally been associated with femininity and craft, it is here elevated into a visual language on its own, intertwining textile practice with representation. By using it as both surface and subject, she blurs the line between these categories. In doing so, she seeks to transcend traditional image-making and questions the very nature of an image.
