A sculpture must sit well because even if you put your finest color on it when firing, if the form is bad the beautiful color will not help.<br\/>Feeling materials, taking the 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\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prachtige-kleuren-pixelisme\">Beautiful colors. Pixelism!<\/h4>\n\n\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\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mijn-werk\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anitafleerackers.be\/nl\/mijn-kunstwerken-bij-je-thuis\/\">My artwork<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kunstgalerie-hondsdamme-0\">Kunstgalerie Hondsdamme<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"455\" height=\"607\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai5\/q_glossy+ex_1+ret_img+to_auto\/anitafleerackers.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/kunstgalerie_hondsdamme.jpg\" data-spai-egr=\"1\" alt=\"Art gallery Hondsdamme - Kerkstraat 32 - B-8340 Damme - From 9 to 21 November 2023 - each time from 2 to 6 p.m.\" class=\"wp-image-24357\"   srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai5\/q_glossy+ex_1+ret_img+to_auto\/anitafleerackers.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/kunstgalerie_hondsdamme.jpg 455w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai5\/q_glossy+ex_1+ret_img+to_auto\/anitafleerackers.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/kunstgalerie_hondsdamme-280x374.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai5\/q_glossy+ex_1+ret_img+to_auto\/anitafleerackers.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/kunstgalerie_hondsdamme-112x150.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kunstgalerie Hondsdamme<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-silence-1\">Silence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflection on my participation in an international meeting place and exchange project in Venice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Venice <\/strong>offers a unique international meeting place with an international audience of professionals such as curators, gallerists, collectors and publishers seeking to acquire, publish and encourage the best contemporary art talents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2497.2824391239524!2d3.2795841769358627!3d51.250708871756025!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x47c359e0ba8540d5%3A0xd9e79a63760e647c!2sKunstgalerij%20Hondsdamme!5e0!3m2!1snl!2sbe!4v1698406586092!5m2!1snl!2sbe\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-venetie\">Venice<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"84\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shortpixel.ai\/spai5\/q_glossy+ex_1+ret_img+to_auto\/anitafleerackers.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Anita-Fleerackers-in-Venetie-150x84.jpg\" data-spai-egr=\"1\" alt=\"Anita Fleerackers in Venice ! &#xA9; Anita Fleerackers in BORDERS ART FAIR 2023 - VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR - Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello Venice,during the same period of the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale.
