A sculpture should be well shaped, because even if you put your most beautiful color on it, when the shape is bad, the beautiful color won&#8217;t help.<br\/>Feeling the materials, taking time for this. I I call it respecting the clay, because when I work too fast the clay wraps itself up, disagrees and spits out its anger in a thousand pieces in the oven.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prachtige-kleuren-pixelisme\">Beautiful colors. Pixelism!<\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beautiful colors of nature in all seasons. Early in the morning, the freezing temperatures hanging in the air as the sun rises. It gives a prism to colors in the sky, or the sun, which tries to break through the nebula. The many shades of green in spring and the splendour of blossoms, summer by the sea, autumn with all shades of reddish-brown. Winter, a residual rose buried in the snow. Her paintings are memories, which, like photographs, contain thousands of pixels, built up by squares of about 1 cm by 1 cm. Pixelism! Labor-intensive but at the same time soothing, and unique.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-medaille-d-or\">M\u00e9daille d&#8217;Or<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai5\/q_glossy+ex_1+ret_img+to_auto\/anitafleerackers.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/foto-anita.jpg\" data-spai-egr=\"1\" alt=\"Anita Fleerackers - Num&#xE9;rique Artiste - Medaille d'Or Europe 2021 Cr&#xE9;ation Artistique - Laur&#xE9;ate du Palmar&#xE8;s\" class=\"wp-image-18105\" width=\"150\" height=\"101\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Anita Fleerackers &#8211; Laur\u00e9ate du Palmar\u00e8s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">With my artwork &#8221; SPARKLING&#8221; I was nominated with &#8220;M\u00e9daille d&#8217;Or&#8221; Europe 2021 Cr\u00e9ation Artistique Anita Fleerackers Laur\u00e9ate du Palmar\u00e8s. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artisticmuseography.com\/reportage.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Editions Des Musees et de la Culture EDMC-Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Le 17 F\u00e9vrier 2021 a eu lieu le II \u00e8me concours num\u00e9rique artistique en distanciel, avec Jury en d\u00e9lib\u00e9rations connect\u00e9es.

The festival analyzes the idea of human and urban borders, how people experience them and how they are modified in contemporary society. Every person lives in a world in which limits and boundaries define his attitude and behavior, limit freedom and create a sense of alienation. Man responds by breaking down barriers and finding a new way of life. We imagine a world of &#8220;liquid cities,&#8221; where differences create new opportunities rather than forming social barriers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humanity is living together at a distance to stay closer: the new invisible borders are creating new ways of conducting daily life, new human connections and rethinking shared spaces and entire cities. BORDERS ART FAIR consists of 3 main events: HYBRID IDENTITIES, SECRET SPACES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cancun-mexico\">Cancun MEXICO<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai5\/q_glossy+ex_1+ret_img+to_auto\/anitafleerackers.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/1c-Museo-Maya.png\" data-spai-egr=\"1\" alt=\"Museo Maya de Cancun, INAH, Mexico\" class=\"wp-image-22103\" width=\"150\" height=\"136\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Museo Maya de Cancun, INAH, Mexico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two of my digital works &#8220;The Horse Illusion&#8221; and &#8220;The Red Bull&#8221; are officially included in the private collection of Museo Maya de Cancun, INAH, Mexico<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/about-anita-fleerackers\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">do you like receiving info of my exhibitions, subscribe to my newsletter now!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Summer of Wechel &#8217;23 The Summer of Wechel The official opening which will take place on August 11, 2023 at 7 p.m. in the St. Amelberga&#8217;s church in Wechelderzande Welcome Bart Dewindt Music Koffie &#038; Cava Jazz, Bossa, French Nostalgia Introduction Rosette Dillen Edition 2023 Anita Fleerackers Curator Opening Marleen Peeters Mayor Lille The&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/publications-en\/the-summer-of-wechel-2023\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Lees verder \u00bb<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The Summer of Wechel 2023<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23468,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","neve_meta_reading_time":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1305],"tags":[4901,4903,4902],"class_list":["post-23474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-publications-en","tag-hof-dinterre","tag-the-summer-of-wechel","tag-wechelderzande"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23474\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
