Pictura

A powerful artist portrait full of color, emotion, and abstract imagination

“Frieda Van Dun’s paintings are composed of many layers, of both paint and of meaning. Time and again, her work explores what it means to paint in an age that looks but rarely sees.”

— Hildegard Van de Velde, curator The Snijders&Rockox House
