Katrien Thomas began her artistic journey not long ago at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, where she rediscovered her old love for painting.

Over time, she has developed her own visual language, experimenting with styles and techniques, drawing inspiration from art history and the works of Manet, Sorolla, Sargent, and Morisot, amongst others.

Primarily working her personal photo archive, Katrien reimagines familiar images by altering colours and details. Theme’s such as memory, time and the subjective nature of the past invite the viewer to reflect on how our own memories shape our future selves.
