The Time Essence
All living beings go through metamorphosis; even our cells change, some of them die for new ones to be born.
Lieve Gabriel is a professional abstract and figurative artist/painter. She lives and works in London, England.
Her abstract work has been featured in Vanity Fair UK with: 'A Place Of Comfort', 'From Eternity To Eternity' and 'The Mystery Of Spirit' in their iconic magazine for three consecutive issues: November 2024, December-January 2025, and February 2025.
Two of her figurative paintings have been exhibited in Boomer Gallery in Central London, as part of a group exhibition: 'The Dark Side' with: 'My Scars Sink Deep Into The Core Of Me' and 'Drowning In A Sea Of Silence'.
Her work has also been exhibited in galleries in the heart of London, mostly Mayfair and private clubs for the past twenty years; and sold to collectors worldwide. She exhibited in Artsy and was a featured artist in a Saatchi art collection. She participated in art fairs in Zurich and sold her work in her beloved Spitalfield Art Market, London - where she began her artist career many years ago. Lieve is a proud member of df-artproject - an intuitive and innovative art organization based in Paris, France. www.df-artproject.com
Now in 2025, Lieve feels that it's now time to broaden her horizons and explore new mediums and art forms in order to express herself fully. Hence she presents her new work with mixed emotions and anticipation, since she's stepping away from a known and comfortable zone, to enter a new and unknown world with unpredictable and exciting outcomes.
"For more than 20 years I have been focusing on abstract/figurative expressionism, conveying the dynamics of the human condition. With the new collection I'm currently working on, I want to step away a bit from that rather intense work, and begin a new chapter in my career as an artist, by opening up to new horizons and possibilities. Thanks to a background as a fashion photographer, I have a keen eye in capturing moods and facial expressions. Thus, by merging photography with painting, I freeze beauty and expressions through photography, and then I breathe life into them by adding emotions through paint. I use mannequins as subjects and real life models."

What is true beauty? Can we capture and trap its Essence within us? Or is it a powerful light we are born with?
