Hildegarde Handsaeme – Contemporary Minimalist Feminine Art in Lines &
Poésie des Lignes: A Glimpse Into My Artistic Journey
Welcome to my first blog post on my official website! I’m Hildegarde Handsaeme, a Belgian artist passionate about exploring the essence of femininity through minimalist line art and contemporary paintings. Over the past 30 years, I’ve devoted myself to capturing the strength, elegance, and balance of the female form in timeless works.
Each of my creations begins with a search for perfect lines — lines that evoke emotion, harmony, and subtle power. Whether working on a large canvas or an intimate drawing, my goal is always to reveal the poetry hidden in simplicity.
I’m excited to share insights into my creative process, the inspiration behind my recent pieces, and upcoming projects. Through this blog, I hope to connect more closely with art lovers, collectors, and anyone who feels drawn to my minimalist yet expressive approach.
Thank you for visiting my site! Explore my collections and stay tuned for future posts where I’ll take you behind the scenes of my artistic world.
