Learning

At the age of 7, encouraged by her parents' confidence, Sabine started painting at the Truffino workshop. There she not only learned the techniques of oil painting and the rigor of figurative art but also the law of effort. This resilience to start over tirelessly until achieving a sought-after form of perfection.

In secondary school, Sabine joined the artistic section of Val Notre Dame boarding school. She completed a first year of graphic design at Studio 75 before joining the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, where she developed her creative spirit. She completed her artistic journey at the Higher Institute of Painting Vanderkelen-Logelain, where she learned the subtleties of ornamental painting, faux marble, and faux wood.

The Artist

Sabine is a seasoned artist armed with a wide range of techniques that she uses to fulfill her personal mission: “to offer art that generates positive emotions through unique color combinations in motion.”

She has been represented in various galleries in Belgium and abroad: Ferrari Art Gallery, Deï Barri Gallery, the Art Temptation Gallery, the HIP Gallery, Art Center Horus Gallery in Sint-Martens-Latem and Horus Gallery Knokke, and Horus Gallery in Laren (PB), Sablon d’art, Galerie L or Galerie MOdus, and Alexia Werrie Art Gallery. Additionally, her works are included in private collections and companies such as UCB, Bureau Van Dijk, and DEGROOF Petercam Bank.

In line with her desire to color people's lives, Sabine regularly supports associations by donating works for auction, for example, Rênes de la Vie, FACE for Children in Need, Villa Indigo, and L’Accueil.

Sabine pays great attention to the quality of materials, whether it’s the choice of canvases or paints used, to not only offer the best results but also to ensure the longevity of the work. Finally,

Sabine also takes great pleasure in producing custom orders, as it’s an opportunity to collaborate with different people and share emotions.

Her Journey

Visitors to Sabine's studio are often impressed by the diversity of her works. This began at a young age, learning oil painting techniques by creating landscapes, characters, or birds in a traditional style. Sabine's first solo exhibition dates back to 2000, when she presented a collection of “Polo Players” at the Antwerp club in Kapellen. She used the techniques learned during her academic journey to combine the athlete and his horse in motion, in a soft blend of colors. Her second collection, Circles, produced in 2002, is more personal and tends towards abstract art. It sets round shapes in motion in warm colors, inspired by a lunar imagination. In 2005, Sabine surprised with her Drop by Drop collection, which contributed to her notoriety. She created screens of light that illuminate the mind and are filled with positive vibrations as the viewer passes by. The most surprising works are the radiators she uses as easels, on which thousands of drops of color are layered over the years.

Inspired by the drops running down the canvas to crash to the ground, Sabine worked on stains from 2009 to 2015. This is her Spotty period. She puts colors in motion in different ways, usually on white backgrounds worked with plaster to give body to her canvas and to catch the light.

• In Spotty Full, the painting fills up more and more, leaving no room for the blank canvas. The subject is very present and already shows some botanical inspirations.

• Her work evolves towards explosions of colors, welcoming and radiant, diffusing energy and rays of light: Spotty Fuse. She works the Pollock technique to generate this fusion of colors.

• Always inspired by color and increasingly close to nature, Sabine paints the incredible movement of starlings, called murmuration, in the form of thousands of small dots of color. She calls this collection Spotty Light.

In 2019, Sabine pays homage to the magnificent nature that has animated her since childhood in her collection So Beautiful Nature. She highlights nature, animating it with bright colors, then immortalizing it in photography. In 2020, Sabine suddenly loses her dear father. She wants to pay tribute to her parents by producing a collection she calls Gratitude. She translates the softness of these emotions through pastels, inspired by Asian techniques.

Continuing her work So Beautiful Nature, Sabine brings material back to the center of her work in 2024 with her Totem collection. These “sculptures” of painted bark serve as protectors of a community, a family, or an individual.
