Coppieters Ethel

  • Overview

    Ethel Coppieters was born in Brussels in 1996. She studied at the erg for 5 years, graduating in 2021 with a master’s degree in painting. 

    She paints portraits of women full of contradictory evocations and mixed feelings. Inspired by the woman of her generation and her everyday life, she tries to create dreamlike scenes. The figures she crates are nourished by classical feminine references but also by contemporary narrative elements. These timeless canvases speak of the intimate and the universal, in portraits of women whose proportions are deconstructed and freed from the familiar injunctions of beauty. Her work is marked by her parallel practice of murals and graffiti. Known by her stage name Soaz, her work revolves around representation of woman in portraits and compositions that blend bodies and faces. The confrontation of shapes and colors is part of her artistic exploration. She tries to create a new imagination in public spaces by imposing the existence of her frescoes.
