Discover the fascinating art of Sabine Maes
Sabine Maes, an accomplished abstract artist from Belgium, has captivated art lovers around the world with her stunning creations. Her journey as an artist began in 2002 and since then she has been on a quest to make her work resonate with admirers of modern minimalist design. Inspired by the complex beauty of nature, Sabine's paintings are a testament to her ability to create balanced and unfussy compositions, layer by layer.
Embracing Wabi Sabi:
At the core of Sabine Maes' art lies the essence of "wabi sabi," a Japanese term that celebrates imperfection, impermanence and incompleteness. Although her paintings often look untamed, they exude subtle yet charismatic tones that invite the viewer to contemplate the delicate dance between chaos and tranquility.
A fusion of nature and modern minimalism
For Sabine, painting is a meditative activity, a journey into a state of mind akin to "a chi kung state." It is in this state that she finds her deepest balance, uses her energy and translates it into fluid, flowing movements. Through a harmonious fusion of strength and softness, she uses a variety of materials, including acrylic and charcoal, to bring her visions to life.
The studio as sanctuary::
Sabine's studio is a sanctuary where creativity flourishes. Here she fearlessly experiments with a playful and messy array of hues, consistencies and paint materials. What sets her work apart are the custom-made brushes she uses, made from dried tropical leaves, branches and rope, creating unique textures and structures.
The collections
Sabine Maes' portfolio is divided into two different collections: the 'Natural Collection' and the 'Colour Collection'. The 'Natural Collection' consists of monochromatic, perfectly imperfect pieces that reflect the subtle hues and textures of nature itself. On the other hand, the 'Colour Collection' is bursting with vibrant, bold statements, interspersed with sophisticated pieces that exude a deep sense of artistry.
