Pascale Steenkiste

Pascale is a visual artist based in Glasgow, UK. 

Her love for art has always been there especially paintings but creating her own work started in more recent years after working with children.  What spoke to her the most is the way children have no inhibitions about their work, it flows naturally.  As Picasso famously said 'every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up'.           

She is an intuitive artist and has a love of abstraction.  She works with acrylics on canvas and board.

Pascale's work is predominantly non-objective, it is all about 'the felt sense'.  The physicality of her work means she is adding and subtracting, adding and taking away until the final work emerges, creating depth with saturated splashes of colour together with large planes of muted tones.

In recent times she has started working on bigger canvases where she embraced the freer, looser and more energetic marks.

Her work is around states of mind, emotions and experiences.

Pascale has work in private collections in the UK, Canada and Belgium.

She runs a small art group in Glasgow, UK.

Statement

I am an intuitive abstract artist and have a love for abstraction.  I work mainly with acrylics on canvas or board.  My work is predominantly non-objective, it is all about 'the felt sense'.  I am adding and subtracting, adding and taking away until the final work emerges, creating depth with saturated splashes of colour together with large planes of muted tones.

My inspiration is taken from places, experiences, memories with a big dollop of experimentation.  Other artists inspire me with their use of colour or mark making.  There are too many to name.
