Gommaar Gilliams Belgian, b. 1982
"In my work, which is an oscillation between abstraction and representation, I try to create seemingly timeless scenarios that appear at once familiar and fantastical, scenes that appear like half-remembered or imagined memories filled with a sense of nostalgia and longing."
