About Claudie de Vlieger
In my countless visits as a KLM Purser to vibrant cities like Bangkok, New Delhi, Mexico City, Nairobi and more, I found myself captivated by the kaleidoscope of colors , patterns and combinations well as the enchanting interiors of Asian, African and South American Cultures.
I couldn’t resist filling my suitcase with an assortment of colorful fabric, paper bags and even local newspapers. I eagerly collected these treasures during my explorations of local markets and quaint shops.
My passion for interior design runs parallel to my love for art. Together with my husband, we have embarked on numerous renovations, breathing new life into distinctive homes. To me, a canvas is a challenge like a living space.
I am constantly striving to find harmony between the old and the new; the colors, and the boldness and softness of materials. It’s a delightful dance of black and white, as well as vivid and subtle hues in figurative forms.
Drawing inspiration from my mother, who was an accomplished artist herself—a painter, ceramist, and florist—I have been fortunate to inherit her creative spirit and explore various artistic mediums.
My artistic journey began at the St. Lucas Art Academy in Kapellen, Belgium, where I spent nine years honing my skills in acrylic painting, drawing, and art history. Later, I proudly opened my own gallery in Antwerp, aptly named Room for Art, which allowed me to showcase my work and connect with fellow art enthusiasts.
Currently, my focus lies predominantly on creating captivating portraits. However, the threads of my past and present endeavors are interwoven, and I am excited to blend them into new, awe- inspiring creations.
