Paulien Van Loo
GRAFIXX GRADUATES – selected by Martha Verschaffel
How does a new generation of students make sense of a world that never stands still? Venture into the basement of De Studio to discover graduation projects from the class of 2026. Lecturers Gerda Dendooven (LUCA Ghent), Lukas Verstraete (LUCA Brussels), Martha Verschaffel (KASK), and Sam Vanbelle (Sint Lucas Antwerp) each selected the project that intrigued them most.
With paint and pencil, Paulien Van Loo cultivates vivid worlds where giant lilies bloom, insects roam freely, and the boundary between fiction and reality dissolves. In Woeker, a story of everyday routines, quiet grief, and all-consuming love, an elderly woman wanders through flowers, plants, and shrubs, gradually becoming one with the garden she cherishes most.
