Little Street in Havana

In Little Street in Havana, a person wearing a hat and smoking a cigar takes center stage, against a background in which the architecture of the surroundings is visible in loose lines.

The combination of warm skin tones, cool blues, and transparent areas of color gives the work a lively and spontaneous character. Rather than working out every detail precisely, Birgitta Vereecke allows lines and colors to move freely. This creates the feeling of a moment captured while passing through.

Travel is an important source of inspiration in her work. During visits to various countries, Vereecke became fascinated by people, indigenous cultures, rituals, and the stories hidden behind places. She translates these encounters into her paintings.
