Whether she’s submerging hybrid underwater creatures into oceans or sending poem-paintings off to galleries like the van Gogh Museum or the Masir Curatorial, Lieve Hakkers’s brush is an extension of her ever-shifting life-essence. Her paintings contain infinite multitudes, transforming before your eyes as you look at them, unravelling into a timeless, ever-morphing expression of universal tactility, grasping timelines of lives, thoughts, relationships and materials, condensing them into an image on a canvass that expands beyond its physical dimensions. Having studied at Artez and winning the royal award for modern painting, Lieve’s work has an unmatched vivid, transformative power.
