SHANTE ISHTA — DOMINIQUE DE BELLEFROID

Dominique de Bellefroid is a Belgian visual artist whose work draws inspiration from metaphysics and quantum theory. Central to her practice is the notion of fundamental interconnection within the universe, what she describes as “the underlying weave” that binds all things together. She brings this concept to life through her use of textiles, threads, and raw linen that she paints, allowing the literal weave of the material to become an active participant in her compositions.

Born in Belgium in 1966, de Bellefroid lives and works in Brussels and Provence. She studied fine arts at the Heatherley School of Art in London and trained in painting and weaving at the Constantin Meunier Academy in Brussels.
