"Digital artists Feral Plains delve deeply into the intricacies and symbolism of life.  Nothing is placed on the page without meaning and a pure representational objective.

These balanced and deeply emotionally charged pieces make their work easily identifiable in the art world.

There needs to be a deep understanding of the transience of life, both explored and considered, for it to be so beautifully expressed in their work.  The dark and striking females often seen in their pieces are haunting and powerful.  There is much to be seen in the narrative, and Feral Plains is always inviting you to explore the meaning hidden behind the pieces.  It is no coincidence that Biem and Marijn find inspiration from strong women with defining stories, not unlike their own.

The mythology behind the pieces is what attracted me to their work, and their ability to express the emotion using three-dimensional modeling.  Feral Plains digital painting style is deeply thoughtful, bold women, both behind and on the page..."

Biem 1 af cropped iets kleiner.jpg

Biem D'hondt, born in beautiful Bruges Belgium, graduated with a Master in International Political Science at the University Ghent in 2004.

Currently working on her own set of surreal paintings at www.biemdhondt.be with focus on dreamy existential solitude.

The human figure is mostly disguised and appears to be a character in often undefinable spaces. Behind the gentleness of the brushstrokes hides an often uncomfortable vision on the human species.   

On view in April 2022 at CC De Adelberg in Lommel, Belgium.
