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.
