"Drapée", part of the "Drapée" series, is created on handmade linen paper applied to canvas with natural paint. It explores the intimate relationship between material, time, and the balance between strength and fragility. De Zutter creates her own paper using traditional papermaking techniques learned through the transmission of this ancestral craft. This practice anchors her work in continuity with centuries of knowledge while giving new life to a material that has long carried the memory of human culture and exchange. Each piece emerges from a slow, intuitive process where textures and reliefs gradually unfold, revealing the richness of imperfections. The work exemplifies De Zutter's minimalist style, playing with contrasts and creating movement while integrating temporality and depth. She is drawn to what bears the trace of life—cracks, roughness, and delicate nuances that give her creations their depth and uniqueness. The minimalist approach leaves viewers free to make their own personal interpretation, to resonate with their own feelings. Her artistic universe is rooted in the use of handmade paper, clay, and natural pigments, creating abstract canvases that evoke lightness, texture, and depth while playing with contrasts and reliefs. Guided by intuition and fascination with natural materials, De Zutter conceives her works as "odes to simplicity". This unique piece is ideal for collectors seeking contemporary Belgian art, textured paper works, minimalist abstract art, and handmade material art.
