Aline Forçain, a multi-disciplinary artist born in France (1988) and based in Brussels, trained at European level at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse, the ARBA in Brussels and the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Complutense University in Madrid. This multi-faceted training has enabled her to decompartmentalize her artistic practice, opening up a whole range of possibilities for contemporary creation. Her art revolves around drawing, painting, engraving and photography. Coming from a farming background, she questions our relationship with the world through the prism of landscape. She draws further inspiration from literature, philosophy and “popular beliefs”. Her main influences include Caravaggio, Francisco de Goya, Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Hilma af Klint, Augustin Lesage, Mark Rothko and Wolgang Laib.
