From the series Eternal Reflections

Lisette creates works that express her fascination for architecture. Often, the realization of a new series starts with observation. She explores new environments by visiting residential complexes or architectural sites, observing their shape, dimensioning and use of light. Lisette magnifies the details she notices during her stay to translate the magic of a space to abstract, layered and spherical paintings. Back in her studio, in-depth research into technique, material and colour schemes result in eye-catching works in which spaciousness is determined by colour transitions and contrast. Gradients symbolize light falling and spreading into a certain space. Her artistic practice revolves mostly around painting, though she has explored the realms of sculpture and installation as well.
