Bieke Buckinx

Brussels artist Bieke Buckinx is known around town as an extraordinary chronicler of ordinary city life. Or as others have so eloquently put it: she finds beauty in the banal. Though not just beauty, but also bliss, wonder, and irony. Her refreshing take on life is both no-nonsense and affectionate. And while she might not take things all that serious – life is too short to overthink it – she does take her work extremely seriously. It’s how she communicates with the city and the people around her, by telling little personal stories and documenting meaningful encounters
