"Through abstraction and printmaking, Stien Bekaert creates nuanced explorations of identity, connection, and contemporary visual culture."
Stien Bekaert (°1985), a multidisciplinary artist based in Gent, explores themes of alienation, connectedness, and identity through her innovative use of printmaking. Transforming found imagery from contemporary media, her work bridges the digital and physical worlds, creating tactile, thought-provoking installations. Her pieces invite contemplation, balancing subtle abstraction with emotional depth, and challenging the boundaries of perception and meaning.
