KOEN LYBAERT
ANTWERP, BELGIUM
Known for his abstract oil paintings, Belgium-based artist Koen Lybaert is inspired by the natural world. His photographs of unspoiled mountains, woods and the sea form the basis of his work, lonely landscapes rendered in earth tones. Lybaert’s signature style is layers of paint built up over weeks or months, lending the canvases a compelling textural quality. The artist’s pieces have been exhibited in Europe and the United States.
