About Hildegarde Handsaeme

 
 
  • Biography

    Hildegarde Handsaeme is a contemporary Belgian artist known for her distinctive fusion of geometric abstraction and minimalist female figuration. Working with acrylic on canvas and ink on paper, she creates serene compositions where the female form is reduced to its purest essence — bold lines, balanced shapes, and quiet strength.

    Her style blends poetic minimalism with graphic clarity, resulting in abstract female figures that are both timeless and modern. Each artwork reflects a deep sense of harmony, inviting contemplation and emotional resonance. Handsaeme’s signature approach combines refined design with expressive simplicity, making her work ideal for collectors, galleries, and contemporary interiors.

    Rooted in Belgian artistic heritage and shaped by an international career, her art speaks a universal visual language. Exhibited in cities such as London, Amsterdam, New York, and Paris, her work appeals to those who seek elegance, purity, and iconic presence in visual art.

    Through each line and curve, Hildegarde Handsaeme offers more than image — she offers emotion, structure, and balance. Her creations stand as refined statements of modern femininity in the world of contemporary figurative abstraction.

    For myself, I have taken the decision not to exhibit more in the gallery! For the following reason: much too expensive! Galleries ask an allowance / rent for the gallery conscious and surmounted by a committee that is high. This is not to survive to the artist! The artist is suppressed in its financial contribution, the gallery she income anyway! Give me the way of Artfinder!
