Nel Aerts

Nel Aerts is a Belgian artist born in 1981 who works across painting, textile, and mixed media, creating densely layered works that blend figuration with raw, intuitive mark-making. Her practice draws on personal mythology, bodily experience, and found imagery, resulting in works that feel simultaneously intimate and chaotic. Aerts has gained international recognition through exhibitions at galleries such as Sorry We're Closed in Brussels and has been collected by major institutions and auction houses.
