Artist Statement

hildegarde Handsaeme’s work presents such an original form and content that it is difficult to classify her in a painting school or to compare her to an eventual equal painter. Only gifted artists succeed to be independent from the start and grow gradually to a recognisable style. This is utterly rare. As a red thread Hildegarde’s personality runs through her works which show us a very characteristic world. She seems to know always what she does and why and she leaves nothing to fate. Her work is as she meant it and what she means she gets by her own way from background into focus so one can say without looking at her signature that her personality is clearly there. Her work is very personal and shows that her art has no boundaries, is not subject to strict laws, is unseizable and difficult to put into words.

I have created many pieces to-date and would love to commission you something that meets your exact needs. Why not send me a photo of the room you would like the piece to feature in? I can then come back with some recommendations.

Once you know the style, materials and have agreed on the costs we can get to work for you. We make payments totally safe.
