Mathieu Weemaels
Mathieu Weemaels was born in 1967 in Brussels. Studies at La Cambre.
I do not consider myself as a still life painter but rather as an abstract painter who represents objects. And this for several reasons: each painting starts from an idea of composition, of great lines of force, of perspectives, the objects are there as a pretext, to dress the space. And I attach little importance to representing reality. I believe that painting is there to speak of what cannot be seen, silence, mystery, solitude. There are often mirrors in these figurative/abstract compositions. They are for me a way to deconstruct a linear vision, they double, deconstruct and bring a part of abstraction within a conventional scene, a way to revisit still life. Mirrors have also always fascinated me for their symbolism, the impression they give me of being like doors to another world, another reality. Alice in Wonderland...
In parallel to this regular work started in the 1980s, Mathieu Weemaels explored other avenues: a work on the nude in the 2000s and landscapes always tinged with abstraction. For the first 15 years, he only worked in pastel but since then, he has almost exclusively used oil.
