Harmonie et Formes is a striking example of Hildegarde Handsaeme’s mastery of geometric abstraction, where the human form is reduced to its essential planes and contours. The central stylized figure, composed of sharp and flowing lines in soft beige, earthy ochre, and deep green, evokes an introspective calm while remaining powerfully present.

Symbolic elements enrich the composition: a golden circle near the heart suggests inner strength and harmony, while the black-and-white piano keys introduce a musical rhythm that connects visual art to sound. Contrasting red and green geometric planes create dynamic tension, adding depth and movement to the serene posture of the figure.

Through the interplay of abstraction and symbolism, Handsaeme achieves a delicate balance between modernist aesthetics and human expression. This painting reflects her signature style — minimalist, poetic, and deeply contemplative — inviting viewers to pause and explore the quiet dialogue between form, emotion, and meaning.

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.
