Period Contemporary (1945-today)

This painting is a powerful example of **geometric abstraction** that elegantly integrates form and color into a harmonious composition. The central figure, a stylized human form, is constructed from sharp and flowing lines and planes in soft beige, ochre, and earthy tones. The refined contours of the figure emphasize an introspective posture, evoking a sense of calm and contemplation.

The composition plays with **symbolism and dynamics**:
- **The golden circle**, positioned near the figure’s heart, can be interpreted as a symbol of inner strength or harmony, serving as a visual anchor in the work.
- **The black-and-white keys**, resembling piano keys, add a musical element and suggest a connection to creativity and rhythm.
- **The green and red geometric planes** create striking contrasts, bringing movement and energy to the painting.
- **The overlapping planes and lines** introduce depth and complexity, striking a delicate balance between abstract and figurative elements.

The combination of sharp lines and soft colors, along with the carefully placed geometric patterns, evokes a sense of **modern aesthetics**, reminiscent of elements from Cubism and abstract art. At the same time, the painting remains inviting for emotional interpretation, with an emphasis on balance and introspection.
---
This work is a fascinating synthesis of **abstraction and human expression**, open to multiple interpretations. The subtle tension between dynamism and calm, simplicity and complexity reflects not only a modernist vision but also invites deeper reflection on life and the inner world.

Artist Biography

Born in Kortrijk, Hildegarde Handsaeme attended the Academy of Fine Arts in OVERIJSE but remains above all a self-taught artist. Very quickly, she was able to put her inspiration on stage through a very personal style and technique that only calls upon her own research.

Since 1992, when she really devoted herself to painting, we already discover the characteristics of her compositions which make her known to the Belgian and French public. The beginning of a career that today counts more than twenty exhibitions and a series of awards.
