Hombre (2020) Painting by Viv Steyaert

About my works

There is no philosophy attached to my works,
“Simply life.”
They do not need to be studied or understood, I prefer that we find them beautiful and that they awaken repressed emotions in the spectator.
It is for me It quickly became clear that people attracted me more than objects or landscapes.

By painting, a relationship is created between the model and me, which, although brief, always involves an interaction.< br />I immerse myself in my paintings, every long second, I do not control my characters, they become what they want to become.

Not only the image is develops, but also the feelings that circulate between us.

I try to reveal their soul and, at the same time, mine.

Painting is my personal therapy. I try to overcome my shyness, to free myself from my fears, to approach people and show who I am.
Light and color are my universe, they are the language of the soul. There is no light without shadow, just as there is no happiness without pain.

About My Works

There is no philosophy attached to my works,
“ Life, simply.”
They do not need to be studied or understood, I prefer that people find them beautiful and that they stir up repressed emotions in the viewer.
It quickly became clear to me that people attracted me more than objects or landscapes.

While painting, a relationship forms between the model and me that, although brief, always involves an interaction.
I immerse myself in my paintings, every long second, I do not control my characters, they become who they want to become. Not only does the image develop, but also the feelings that flow between us.

I try to reveal their soul and, at the same time, my own.

Painting is my personal therapy. I try to overcome my shyness, to rid myself of my fears, to approach people and show who I am.
Light and color are my world, they are the language of the soul.There is no light without shadow, just as there is no happiness without pain.
