Artist Fien Hollaert

The works of Fien Hollaert represent the prototype landscape where the artist would like to dwell.

Embellishing the rural atmosphere in which she lives, based on (sub-)tropical climates like the island of Mayotte, where she worked last year.
Dreamily, she observes her living environment and records this in both drawings and paintings.
Sun, sea, and palm trees could well be the key words to construct the artworks.
These three elements literally recur in the still developing series #KOFPOK, in which Fien's ideal world is reflected in a surreal humorous manner.
The artist paints thoughtfully with an eye for structures, patterns, and compositions from nature.

Mainly sculpting and mixing with green and yellow paint on canvas, she works. Primarily, oil paint is used in combination with various materials that illuminate and support the underlying layers.

Regularly, the frame is questioned.

Frames within frames as possible windows to view the landscape, the image seems never to stop.
Where a chicken in the #KOFPOK series serves as the guiding thread, a white house with a red roof is the focal point in the landscape paintings.

Whoever focuses on the structured chaotic landscape order discovers a house surrounded by the powerful parade of nature.
Even the desert seems to emerge burning.
