Fidelis" explores the profound bond of trust and intimacy through Hildegarde Handsaeme’s signature minimalist approach. Two intertwined figures emerge from a single, fluid contour, embodying emotional connection and unspoken harmony. The composition radiates balance — both in the elegant linearity of the forms and in the interplay of warm and cool geometric planes behind them.

The carefully constructed color blocks — deep green, muted beige, soft red, and calming blue — create a visual rhythm that contrasts yet complements the organic flow of the figures. This duality of abstraction and figuration invites the viewer into a contemplative space, where the meaning of loyalty and togetherness unfolds.

More than a visual statement, "Fidelis" stands as a symbolic meditation on unity and serenity — hallmark themes in Handsaeme’s internationally recognized body of work.

Hildegarde Handsaeme is a contemporary Belgian artist celebrated for her minimalist yet emotionally resonant figurative paintings. Born in Kortrijk in 1958, she has developed a distinctive visual language where geometric clarity meets poetic emotion. Her work reduces the female form to its most essential curves, resulting in balanced, harmonious compositions that convey both strength and serenity.

Working primarily with acrylic on canvas and ink on paper, Handsaeme creates artworks that transcend mere representation. Each piece becomes a visual poem — refined, contemplative, and deeply connected to femininity, balance, and timeless symbolism. Her style is instantly recognizable, often making a traditional signature unnecessary.

Her paintings have been exhibited internationally, including in New York, Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels, and are sought after by collectors who appreciate minimalist elegance, symbolic abstraction, and the enduring power of the feminine form.
