Catherine Vanhullebusch is a self-taught abstract painter residing in Brussels. As a perfectionist and over-thinker, she has found a new way to engage with the world through her art. No longer tied to the constraints of logic and control, Catherine embraces the tactile joy of creating with her hands, letting her intuition guide the process. Each piece she creates is a testament to freedom—freedom from the need to overanalyze, freedom from rules, and most importantly, freedom to experiment and fail.
Her work reflects the belief that the environment we design has a direct impact on our emotions. Catherine's minimalist, abstract pieces invite viewers to consider how we shape our world, and how in doing so, we shape ourselves. She trusts the process of creation, knowing that the fruits of dirty hands and countless failed experiments often lead to the most rewarding outcomes. At the heart of her practice is the idea that freedom is something we must actively claim. Catherine's work stands as a reminder that true creative freedom means having the courage to push boundaries, question norms, and step out of the comfort zone—where the best ideas often lie. Her pieces are minimalist in form but rich in meaning, celebrating the contrast between simplicity and complexity, emptiness and dynamism. |
