BIO Ghislaine Cleiren is a multi-media artist working in mixed media and fibre art. She loves exploring realistic images and breaking them down into abstract minimalist paintings. She has been making lace and fibre art since an early age. She is consistently looking for unique ways to combine her original lace designs with painting in mixed media compositions that bring surprise and wonder to the viewer. Her love of learning has inspired her to enhance her designing skills through a variety of art workshops.
Notes: Four of these paintings (Distressed, Secrets, Remnants, Organized Chaos) are part of my Layers of History Series. Inspired by a child's scribbles on a wall and living in a 500 year old home, made me realize that we all leave our marks on the environment where we live and pass through, whether it is a finger print, a piece of paper, a scratch or some wise words of wisdom or actions of goodwill. These marks may live on for centuries. Minerva was the greek wisdom and justice: a way to bring hope and joy in the chaos we leave behind.
