The color artist Ilse Van Buggenhout

My story is the journey of a versatile colour artist.

Presence Art Studio grew out of a passion for colour.

Already in my childhood I was fascinated by the unprecedented possibilities of colours, which I discovered by experimenting with pencils, markers, paints, fabrics... the beginning of my inexhaustible creativity!

I like to be inspired by everything around me; wallpaper, clothing, nature, curtains, interiors, advertising photos, etc.

By using and absorbing colours, ideas and countless emotions from tranquility to energy, from calmness to sparkling dynamism are created. These positive and conversational emotions prove the power of colour, which each person can experience in their own way and according to their own feelings.

I believe that this philosophy is reflected in each of my artistic works and hope that my art is not only functional, but can also be a helping hand to provide the right feeling at the right time, driven by the interaction with the user.

Silk is also a magical material on which colors flow together, collide and determine their own path. When I stretch this silk into a work of art, it creates not only a positive field of tension, but more importantly a new dimension as a unique experience.
On the other hand, vibrant colours and simplified shapes dominate in my expressionist works, creating a powerful visual impact. The play of bright colours is enhanced by an additional layer, highlighting the mysterious elements of my art and invites the viewer to a deeper discovery of the emotional layers within the work.

I look forward to exploring with you what my passion for colour can do for you and where my creative journey will take us together.
