Meet Griet
Hello,
My name is Griet Bertels, and I live and work in Lier, Belgium, near my birthplace. I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil. I love unique, handmade things and am fascinated by the creative process.
When I draw and paint, I craft my own world, one that feels softer and more genuine than the busy, performance-driven reality.
I create dreamy works connecting with people on a deeper level, offering a gentle escape for those who feel the world can be overwhelming.
Naive art, with its simplicity and honesty, has the power to touch our hearts, offering moments of joy, hope, and serenity. It reminds us of life’s quiet beauties, providing a refuge from the noise of the world.
My illustrations are crafted with this in mind, using delicate tones and emotional depth
Through my work, I hope to offer you a place where you can find comfort and reconnect with yourself and the softer side of life.
Thank you for visiting my website. I hope my art provides you with a moment of peace in a busy world.
Wishing you a wonderful day.
Griet
Happy customers - happy me

Nobel - Birth card
‘We were expecting our 3rd son in January 2023, having lost our eldest son Pepijn over two years earlier. Because of his disability, we regularly visited Villa Rozerood in previous years. A holiday place for families like ours, who have one or more children with high care needs. The walls there were brightened up by Griet, among others. And Oscar, the mascot, is also by her, so without knowing Griet, we felt connected to her even then.
And that feeling only got stronger when we decided to have her design our birth card.
She was warm, welcoming and I felt she understood what we wanted better than we did ourselves.
When we were shown the first sketches a while later, I looked at them continuously for minutes.
Our 3 sons were on the card together. Newborn Nobel provided the happy note, Noud took his brothers in tow and Pepijn, watching over them, very symbolically with a lantern dangling above each brother.
We thought it was fantastically beautiful, simple yet very profound.
And from the many comments we received on the card, we knew that her work had not only touched us.Thank you, Griet

Flower Girl, My first ever Art print
We had known Griet's work, the mischievous little figures, for some time, but from a distance. We got to know her work -literally and figuratively- closely in Oostmalle, during the ‘Kunst als Hobby’ exhibition.
My husband's eye fell on one of her creations - a first print - but a more than satisfying work: the innocence of the little figure with a smile that always makes you smile, the interplay of colour, the precision of each colour pencil line.
We walked on for a while, yet he returned to take another look;).
We hesitated no longer and today Griet's drawing is hanging here at home in our living room.
Griet was very curious about where her work is headed. We got a nice background on how her work is achieved.
It was nice to experience such a personal touch when buying one of her creations; it was a very nice acquaintance.
And for those who may still have doubts, Griet's creations can really touch small and grown-up children! Tough guys who love fast motorbikes and cars with lots of horsepower will also melt for her work.
A gift to be able to touch so many people with art!
