The Full Story
“PAINTING IS ENERGY MADE VISIBLE”
Sigrid Freyens is an African-born, Belgian artist who lives in Taranaki, and whose paintings have been featured in solo and group exhibitions in Belgium and New Zealand. She moved to New Zealand in 2017 with her kiwi husband and child.
She describes her artistic expression as “a living process.” “I believe that art is not only a way to express ourselves, but also a unique key to unlock the knowledge of the hidden world. "
From a very young age, Sigrid has been driven by an unconscious search to connect with her environment through painting and drawing. “I see life as vibrant energy in constant motion. I feel colours and energy and give them shape, building a bridge between the inner and the outer world; a process inspired by the moment, led by intuition and curiosity, highly inspired by nature.” Although her artistic expression has evolved over time, her love for creation remains constant.
“Beauty is everywhere , I love to play with organic forms and earthy textures, layering colours... in constant search to connect and co-create with the living world. "
