Angelika Poels

Visual expression often conveys more than words. This certainly applies to Angelika as an visual artist. Yet anyone, including you, can suddenly be moved, consciously or unconsciously, by art. It might stir something within you, perhaps through a sense of recognition, a memory of a journey, or a beautiful event in your life.

She completed her Propedeuse in drawing at the Art School in Tilburg at the age of 21. In 2016, She successfully graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium.

Angelika tells:

In my work, I explore the tension and interaction between inner experience and physical form, with notions of depth and spatiality playing a central role. My artworks embody thoughts that stem from a personal fascination with themes such as the world around us, the universe, and the small musings of daily life. These thoughts emerge from within, grow in my mind, and gradually take on their own dynamic and life. From this evolving mental space, my ideas arise, that as visual concepts, find their way onto the canvas or into sculptural form.

Through layers of materials, colors, and textures, I create depth within my work. Each piece evolves through a process in which shapes and ideas intertwine and unfold to one another. The space I generate within my work is not a defined physical space, but an invitation to enter the boundlessness of thoughts and possibilities. This approach results in a layered experience for the viewer, who is invited to navigate between the layers and discover something personal within.
