Femme – Femme embodies Hildegarde Handsaeme’s refined exploration of feminine connection through geometric abstraction and minimalist figuration. Two interlaced female profiles emerge from a single continuous contour, their forms delicately balanced between individuality and unity. The composition is structured by vibrant planes of deep red, teal, and navy, softened by muted beige and white, creating a striking interplay of boldness and serenity.

The figures’ elongated forms and mirrored positioning evoke intimacy and introspection, while the surrounding geometric blocks introduce rhythm and spatial tension. This union of organic curves and sharp-edged abstraction transforms the painting into a poetic reflection on duality, balance, and emotional resonance.

With its clean lines, harmonious palette, and symbolic layering, Femme – Femme stands as a quintessential example of Handsaeme’s unique visual language — minimalist yet deeply expressive, timelessly capturing the essence of the feminine.

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.
