As a key figure in Belgian Fundamental Art, de Houwer’s work reflects her commitment to minimalism and her meditative process of creation. The repetitive lines evoke the works of Agnes Martin and Jan Schoonhoven, emphasizing the balance between precision and imperfection. The intimate scale and tactile surface invite the viewer to engage closely, appreciating both the material’s inherent qualities and the artist’s meticulous hand.This piece exemplifies de Houwer’s philosophy of art as a meditative practice, where the line serves as a tool for balance and introspection. It is both a standalone artwork and a timeless addition to any collection focused on minimalist or geometric abstraction
