Belgian visual artist who developed her own paint from local coal. Not charcoal, real coal.
Upcomming: may 20 > 29, galerie Expo 38, Hoogstraten

Sometimes I come across a binder that I haven't tested yet. A few months ago I tested a very expensive one. I was not impressed then, and even less so now that I open my jars again: the paint has decomposed. Strange. My “normal” paint made the same day is still perfect.

I think the black exhibition panels in the NAC are great. Not only are they beautiful, they also emphasize how black my coal paint is :-) BTW, my Sint-Barbara exhibition can still be visited until January 29. Now Thursday, 19/01 Nocturne until 8 pm. I'll be there from 5 pm.

I am so Happy to work in my new studio on a commissioned painting with the stove on 🤩.

Last winter I had to make a break because my paint wouldn’t dry, the tape didn’t hold and my fingers and toes froze off. I’m a happy camper now 😁.

Yesterday my Saint Barbara expo opened in NAC Houthalen exclusive for the former miners. The response was overwhelming 🥰. Thank you so much for the perfect organisation @houthalenhelchteren !

Before I started my Charbon de Beringen project in 2018, I made a series of paintings and ceramics of Saint Barbara , the miners patron Saint, with coal. On the occasion of her feast on December 4th, @ecrugeeftkleuraancultuur stimulated the organisation of this expo.
We launched successfully a quest for coal from Houthalen. I turned the old local coal into paint, and made this large painting (2m50 x 1m) of Saint Barbara with it. It wasn’t a walk in the park to get this finished before the opening, but so wasn’t working in the coal mine neither.
Happy to do this for my almost 90 year old dad, who worked in the coal mine of Houthalen a long long time ago. A tribute to Saint Barbara as a thank you for the protection of my dad, my granddad and their friends, and all the other miners.

Note to self: never communicate the dimensions nor the subject of a new painting prior to the exposition where it’s intended for. Will save yourself lots of stress and sleepless nights.
