Artist’s Statement

hildenijs.com

As an eleven year old painting artist I won a first prize in Ostend and was offered my initial oil painting set on the occasion. The smell of oil, the childish fascination for objects, my unrestrained imagination and drive for analysis have determined my further career as an artist. There was no way back. I chose for a childless life in order to stay focused on my passion. “Art is my child, and life a struggle for Art”.

My preference for multidisciplinarity has always been very strong and the result of years of experimenting. My sculptures, installations, paintings, drawings and monotypes are a mix of methods rooted in artistic painting, photography, graphic ans digital techniques, ceramic and stained glass. These combined disciplines form a basis for two- and three-dimensional artistic composition and assemblage. Objets trouvés, paraphernalia, photographs, textiles, glass, ceramic... become a visual completion in my drawings and paintings.

To me life is an “adventure into the unknown” and so is the world of Art. Our rapidly changing society and the continuous switch of events offer infinite opportunities to the artist. The interaction between individuals and between groups of people are my ultimate fascination. In these turbulent times I feel confronted with existential questions about “la condition humaine”.
