Hello,

Welcome!

My name is Griet Bertels. I live and work in Belgium, near the place I've been born. In a small town called Lier, in the province of Antwerp.

I have been drawing, painting and being creative ever since I could hold a pencil. 

I love unique things, preferably handmade and I can watch the making process for hours.

When I draw and paint, I can create my own world. For me, the "real world" often feels too harsh, too busy, focused on performance and people's exteriors.

I try to capture emotions with soft tones and depth. My illustrations are a means of connecting with people, not only superficially, but also with the many emotions hidden beneath our facades.

What you see will connect with your innerself, a memory, a feeling, a wish, ... By giving a place to an image that touches you, you also allow 'the feeling' that goes with it to be there.
What we feel is 'literally' provided with a place.
Naive illustrations have the power and ability to touch people deeply and bring a sense of joy and hope. They remind us of the simple, beautiful things in life and offer a counterbalance to the daily hustle and bustle around us. It brings you closer to yourself again.

Thanks for stopping by my website. I hope the images and colors you came across made you feel good. I Wish you a nice day.

Griet
