"Mixed Feelings" captures the inner tension between conflicting emotions through Hildegarde Handsaeme’s minimalist figurative painting style. The fragmented portrait — composed of overlapping profiles and abstracted features — symbolizes the complexity of human identity, where joy, sorrow, and contemplation coexist in a delicate balance.

The composition bursts with geometric planes in vivid yellow, bold red, emerald green, deep navy, and crisp white, enriched with intricate circular and linear patterns. This dynamic interplay of structure and organic fluidity reflects the emotional layering within the figure, embodying Handsaeme’s mastery of merging abstraction with psychological depth.

More than a portrait, Mixed Feelings is an invitation to reflect on the multifaceted nature of human experience. It resonates with collectors and curators who appreciate art that fuses aesthetic boldness with symbolic storytelling.
