All Cultures Come Together in 1 Fist

In this work, Birgitta Vereecke brings two figures close together. Bodies, arms and lines flow into one another and combine to form one powerful movement.

The title All Cultures Come Together in 1 Fist gives the image an additional layer: the focus is not on separation, but on coming together.

Vereecke’s work moves between realism and Impressionism. She paints in a spontaneous style, without rendering every detail precisely. It is precisely the loose lines, transparent areas of color and visible movement that give the work energy and emotion.
