Recognition, Publications & Press Overview

Art can save the world

Curatorial Recognition

Hildegarde Handsaeme’s work has received high praise from internationally respected curators and art professionals:


  • Quentin Métayer (Perrotin Gallery, Paris):
    “Highly visual, graphically strong, and technically impressive. There is a clear mastery in your line work, with fluid and technically challenging curves. Your visual universe is coherent and would pair perfectly with poetic or intellectual texts.”

  • Sandra Heuts, Independent Curator and Art Advisor:
    Recognized the consistency, purity, and emotional harmony in Handsaeme’s minimalist compositions.

  • Titan Publishing Curatorial Board (2025):
    Highlighted her unique balance between geometric structure and poetic resonance, identifying her work as part of a distinctive contemporary movement.

  • Anastasia Mitrogogou (Curator & Art Advisor, Podgorny Robinson & Perrotin Gallery):
    “Your work has a musical quality, both in subject and rhythm. It stands at the intersection of painting and illustration, guided by color and abstracted form. A subtle balance of emotion and geometry — reminiscent of the spiritual explorations of the Delaunays and Kandinsky.”
    “I see potential for great international resonance, especially in the U.S., Asia and Eastern Europe.”

  • Sandra Miranda Pattin (Curator & Cultural Advisor, Chiasso Perduto & Shengxinyu Art China-EU):
    “You master the dialogue between geometry and figuration with visual harmony. The restraint in your palette enhances the minimalist power of your work. It is cohesive, mature, and visually articulate.”
    “Bringing the spontaneity of your ink drawings into your paintings could elevate the emotional strength even further.”
