About

 

Pauline Hanuise

“I don’t paint stillness. I paint motion, allure, seduction, the pulse of existence. Each piece is an invitation - step closer, let it pull you in, lose yourself in it and surrender to the flow.”

 
“My work is a study in contrasts - deep yet weightless, controlled yet untamed. Fluidity is my language, movement my obsession. I explore the tension between depth and radiance, silence and intensity, darkness and electric colours - much like the dual nature of our universe and femininity itself: endlessly creative yet dramatically destructive, soft yet powerful, ethereal yet commanding.”

 


“This duality takes form in two intimately connected expressions. One flows in rich, hypnotic blues, evoking the enigmatic pull of the ocean, the cosmos, the infinite unknown. The other ignites with vibrant, kinetic hues - an explosion of life, seduction, and transformation.

 

“They are not opposites but echoes of the same force - two sides of an ever-shifting current, much like the essence of a woman: ever-changing, yet undeniably whole.”

 

Bio

 

Born and raised in Belgium, Pauline is a self-taught, intuitive artist, a coach, teacher, and digital entrepreneur.

Pauline has painted and created for as long as she can remember - starting with a fashion-collection for her and her dolls, made entirely of different types of plastic bags, when she was 6.

As many, she has been told art should stay a hobby. That's how she ended up scoring 2 master degrees. The first one in communication and the second in business management.

Refusing to settle for the status quo, she left Europe at 26 to live and work in Sydney as a Digital Producer for many big brands such as Walt Disney and Canon. During her time in Australia, she joined the local art school and started exhibiting her work around Sydney (2011). 

At that time, her work was still pretty dark and tortured, which was a reflection of her life-time struggles with addictions, eating disorders and body image.

Over the years, as she healed herself, and found more inner peace through spirituality, inner-work, and yoga (and as she followed different training programs in fluid and contemporary art), her work evolved to become more colourful and spontaneous. Today, her art is a reflection of the flow of life, the universal energy of creation, love and light.

She worked and lived in different countries till 2022. She is currently living and working in Portugal.
