Annemie De Waele

Annemie De Waele makes abstract-figurative paintings, often using silhouettes with symbolic and mystical undertones.

Annemie De Waele is a retired physical education teacher who has devoted recent years to abstract-figurative painting. Silhouettes are a recurring element in her work, allowing the human figure to remain recognisable while becoming open to interpretation.

Her paintings often carry a symbolic or slightly mystical atmosphere. Rather than describing a scene literally, she uses simplified figures, colour and composition to suggest a mood and invite the viewer to complete the story.
