Roller Coaster (2013) Painting by Geert Heirbaut

Geert Heirbaut works and lives in Ghent, Belgium.

“In my art practice, I am not concerned with creating precise representations of objects or animals in my work. Instead, I aim to create a sense of suggestion and memory, as if the viewer is trying to reimagine a lost world or experience that we can never fully return to. Through the use of color, brushstrokes, and composition, I hope to convey a sense of emotion and depth that speaks to the viewer on a deeper level."

I adopt a range of approaches to the drawing process, sometimes using meticulous, precise strokes like an engraver, and other times using sweeping, lavish gestures.
Each piece begins with loose, gestural brushstrokes, which I then build upon and layer to create depth and complexity.  My work is deeply focused on abstraction and the exploration of the human condition. Through the layering process, I am able to explore the various facets of the human experience and create vibrant, expressive works that engage the viewer and invite them to consider the deeper meaning and significance of what they are seeing.”
