Water keeps moving is a fluid and rhythmic abstract by Belgian artist Astrid Van den Bosch, where layers of cold wax and acrylics build a textured, dynamic surface that evokes the perpetual motion and energy of water. The work captures the artist's intuitive approach—bringing emotions to the canvas through powerful, spontaneous gestures without hesitation or deliberation.
Van den Bosch creates mixed-media pieces characterized by a calm yet strong presence. Her artistic practice is defined by rough, uninhibited brushstrokes, by carving, rubbing, discarding and rebuilding, creating unique tension in each painting. Despite this dynamic process, she manages to create harmonious, reduced and meditative works.
The title suggests nature's constant flow and transformation—water's perpetual movement as a metaphor for life's continuous change. This reflects Van den Bosch's deep connection to nature and the spiritual laws of the universe, themes that inspire her minimalist collections and her exploration of balance and harmony—values she honors deeply in her life.
