Bare Birth

My research explores how images emerge from the experience of the body, before they are materialized— drawn, painted, or performed.

I work with visual narratives rooted in cyclical structure to explore themes of feminine identity, spiritual aridity and reintegration through images.

This approach positions me as a kind of visual philosopher : I do not illustrate ideas, I listen to what the body knows and lets rise.

This journey led me to explore more deeply the transitional spaces between sensation and form ; where memory, trance, and animality open portals into symbolic visual language.

I’m currently seeking to deepen my visual language in dialogue with other artists — to expand my perspective by being in proximity with diverse practices, mediums, and ways of seeing.

Even though I’m a Belgian artist who grew up deeply influenced by Spilliaert and Van Gogh’s few rays of light, I’m now based in a Baltic country which has even less light to offer.

At this stage of my life, I am particularly drawn to environments where light and elemental time affect our sensory thresholds and perception—where nature becomes both collaborator and mirror, and where images can arise from within.
