Meet Christel Blockeel
Our Essence
In Christel’s abstract expressionist world, you won’t find recognizable objects or figures. Instead, the focus is on pure abstraction, inviting viewers to interpret each piece subjectively.
The physical act of painting takes centre stage as Christel employs techniques like dripping and pouring, crafting spontaneous and dynamic compositions on large canvases that offer a vast space for her artistic engagement.
The texture and surface of the canvas become integral to each artwork. Christel’s brushstrokes, splatters, and marks dance dynamically and gesturally, conveying a sense of immediacy that captivates the observer.
Notably, she goes beyond traditional painting, incorporating mixed media into her creations, adding depth and complexity to her work. By scratching the surface of a painted canvas, underlying layers of paint or texture are revealed, allowing the tactile and material qualities of the canvas surface to shine through.
Christel experiments with different materials, concepts, and ideas, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
Enter a universe where each stroke tells a story, and each canvas is a window into the artist’s soul.
