Confrontation
Three Representations of the World
Born in 1959 in Louvain, Cécile Bruynoghe is a self-taught visual artist, having first earned a First Prize in music theory at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Coming from an artistic background, she was immersed in painting and music from an early age.
Her first works, created in gouache, explored dreams and the imagination. After a pause, she resumed creating by experimenting with blind drawing, which led to her exhibition "Seeing Means Closing Your Eyes." She then turned to pastels, acrylics, and charcoal, drawing inspiration from real landscapes and fleeting memories.
In this exhibition, she presents works where tension and harmony intertwine: a subtle unease emerges in the flight of birds or a shadowed corner, balanced by the surrounding light. Her vivid, energetic brushstrokes and the delicate interplay of tones and colors reveal a musical sensitivity that leaves a lasting impression on both eye and mind.
