Blondiau is a Belgian painter. After spending 15 years in London (UK), he recently moved to the Netherlands (Oegstgeest). As of 2019, he mainly works on monochrome landscape paintings. Blondiau's work is about transmitting the positive energy of nature.
The technique used in Blondiau's paintings is unique, combining engraving and oil approaches. The first step consists of painting a white panel in black. The artist then gradually retrieves the white color using various tools. This technique makes the light appear to come from the painting itself.
In these monochrome paintings, Blondiau can be seen to have been influenced by traditional Asian painting and Taoism, which emphasizes harmony with the natural world.
“The material I use is important in my work. I like to use simple materials and industrial products and transform them into something elegant and living. The goal is to create a representation of tranquil beauty.”
