Gilliane Warzée was born in Belgium and graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts d'Arlon, Belgium. She currently exhibits at Am Tunnel, the contemporary art space of Spuerkees Bank at Rosegaarchen in the city.
Faces and the human form fascinate Gillian; perhaps relating to the everyday experiences of her work as a nurse, she draws on the energy and emotions of individuals, believing that their faces are the physical reflection of the inner being. Through their representation, the technique and the colours used, she tries to suggest the emotions, feelings, and thoughts of her characters in order to make her works as human, expressive and interactive as possible. His paintings each bear a symbolic name linked to the first emotion felt in contact with her models. She transmits to them her energy, her deep impulses and her sensitivity.
She describes femininity as being at the heart of her artistic journey, and women at the center of her art. From the woman with the open gaze, from the one with the loving gaze, from the hopeful gaze to the struggling gaze, from the one who suffers to the one who soothes… In all their diversity, in all her generosity, she paints the woman of today always with the same force, the same fascination or the same obsession, that of putting her condition as a woman in a perpetual quest for freedom and equality in our society.
