About Me

I am Hildegarde Handsaeme, a Belgian contemporary artist born in Kortrijk. For over three decades, I have been dedicated to minimalist and symbolic art, reducing the female form to its most essential lines. My work seeks a delicate balance between strength and serenity, using flowing contours and geometric harmony to express timeless femininity.

I primarily work with acrylic paint and ink on paper or canvas. Each piece is a visual exploration of womanhood, emotional stillness, and inner clarity — created with just a few precisely placed lines. My artistic signature is so distinctive that a traditional autograph often becomes unnecessary.

Collectors and curators worldwide value my art for its authenticity, recognizable style, and quiet power. My work has been exhibited in New York, Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels, and featured in respected international publications including Resident Magazine New York, France 24, and Magzoid Magazine UAE.

Through my creations, I invite you into a moment of contemplation — a minimalist reflection of feminine presence, balance, and poetic abstraction.

“Your visual universe is coherent and would pair perfectly with poetic or intellectual texts.”
