Detail abstract painting Sigrid Bedeer : title You and me
Abstract painter, interior architect, traveller, cat lover
and proud mother of a teenage son.
For me, abstract painting is clearing your mind and operating from your feelings. Feeling what is present in you at that moment, letting go of everything and putting your emotions on canvas with full abandon.
I started my career as an interior architect at an architectural firm in Antwerp. My love for details, colours, structure, perfectionism and coordination talent, gave me a rich learning experience ...

A new space, new light, new inspiration and energy, ... I love it ❤️

'Studio in the spotlight' Open Studio Weekend in Hove
On May 2 & 3, I’ll be opening the doors to my studio once again during the big open studio weekend organized by Kunstwerkt.
My studio, a place where things come to life… things I sometimes still have to discover myself.
Come take a look, come get a feel for it, or just come browse around.
Feel free to step inside, I don’t bite. My work might, though, just a little. 😜
Location: Atelier Be Dear, Mortselsesteenweg 41 in Hove
When: Sat, May 2 & Sun, May 3, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
NEW: Unique Printed Scarves
Anyone who knows me a little knows that I’m a fan of scarves as an extra accessory. For a while now, I’ve been playing with the idea of having scarves printed with a detail from my paintings… and finally, the time has come!
You can now find an initial selection in my ARTSHOP 🤩
💃 When a journalist from GVA asked me if she could write a short article about my “new” scarves for her lifestyle column, … of course I said YES!!
For now, I’ve had three made as a pilot project so I could thoroughly test the colors and materials. I’m super excited about the result, so I’m really curious to hear what you think.
Do you have any questions, or would you like to see and feel them in reality? You’re welcome in my studio. Just send me an email, and we’ll set up a time to meet.

Workshop with Jan’s two daughters: “Together with Sigrid, my daughters created a beautiful painting that’s now taking pride of place in our living room! My children took two workshops with Sigrid: one to create a relief (and get a taste of coloring), and after that dried, another one to paint. Sigrid guided them very well; the end result is a fantastic painting, a wonderful experience, and a lifelong memory. P.S. My kids also liked the cat and dog."

"Thanks to Sigrid's giveaway I had a super nice experience today. Together with my daughter Bianca 4h abstract painting. Freedom happy and let yourself go with paint. Spacious studio with all materials within reach. No restrictions on what you can and cannot do. It was really a super day with a golden edge for which I thank you 🙏🧑🎨🍀”
For me, abstract painting is clearing your mind and operating from your feelings. Feeling what is present in you at that moment, letting go of everything and putting your emotions on canvas with full abandon. The result is sometimes amazing and cannot be predicted in advance.
Below you will find an overview of my abstract paintings.
If you too would like one of my unique paintings and want more colour on the wall in your home or office, send me a message and we will look at the options together. Whether you’re thinking of something large or small, with bright or softer colours, or alternatively, we could discuss a completely bespoke work.
All my works are for sale and can be viewed under the heading Artshop. If you would you like to come and visit in my studio in advance, that can also be arranged !
I also give workshops in my studio in Hove. The Workshop 'Let your colors shine' is about daring to choose and combine colors, following
your feelings and daring to make mistakes.
If a work resonates with you or stirs something in you, I would like to hear from you.
