Originally from Athus (Belgium), I grew up in this prosperous region before the decline of the steel industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the age of 18, I moved to Brussels where I studied French-English and Spanish translation and obtained a degree in economics. There I lived my life as a woman, mother and professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artistic creation entered my life relatively late. I started drawing at the Academy of Drawing in Saint-Gilles (Brussels) from moving models. Two years later, I switched to painting. I had a very nice space to work in at the Molenbeek Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did a lot of training courses to familiarise myself with different artistic practices: bronze, glass, porcelain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After relatively short stays at the Academy (two years drawing, two years painting), I moved away from any form of academism to follow my personal path and rented a studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did not exhibit much during these periods. I certainly participated in a few exhibitions but without actively seeking to show my work. For me, the essential was achieved because thanks to painting and drawing, I had finally found what made sense to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DRUMS-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3898\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DRUMS-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/en\/events\/exposition-peinture-christelle-decker\/drums\/\" class=\"wp-image-3898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DRUMS-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DRUMS-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LUX-LUCIS-1-853x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3902\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LUX-LUCIS-1-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/en\/events\/exposition-peinture-christelle-decker\/lux-lucis-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-3902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LUX-LUCIS-1-853x1024.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LUX-LUCIS-1-250x300.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LUX-LUCIS-1-768x922.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LUX-LUCIS-1-1279x1536.jpg 1279w, https:\/\/www.beauraingtourisme.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LUX-LUCIS-1-1705x2048.jpg 1705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I like a physical, gestural painting, being one with the canvas. I like the language of colour. I like to translate the unspeakable into coloured gestures. The smell of linseed oil permeates the studio; music is often the starting point for my compositions. Expressing what has not been deeply experienced only allows a representation, an image. For me, painting is anything but an image. It is a fleeting spark of life, captured by the magic of the brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Painting breaks the time line. One is not bound, as in a verbal syntax, to align words, to form ideas in sequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 16 to 30 April, some fifteen paintings by Christelle Decker will be exhibited in the Tourist Office.
