Meet Griet

Hello,

Welcome!

My name is Griet Bertels. I live and work in Belgium, near the place I've been born. In a small town called Lier, in the province of Antwerp.

I have been drawing, painting and being creative ever since I could hold a pencil. 

I love unique things, preferably handmade and I can watch the making process for hours.

When I draw and paint, I can create my own world. For me, the "real world" often feels too harsh, too busy, focused on performance and people's exteriors.

I try to capture emotions with soft tones and depth. My illustrations are a means of connecting with people, not only superficially, but also with the many emotions hidden beneath our facades.

What you see will connect with your innerself, a memory, a feeling, a wish, ... By giving a place to an image that touches you, you also allow 'the feeling' that goes with it to be there.
What we feel is 'literally' provided with a place.
Naive illustrations have the power and ability to touch people deeply and bring a sense of joy and hope. They remind us of the simple, beautiful things in life and offer a counterbalance to the daily hustle and bustle around us. It brings you closer to yourself again.

Thanks for stopping by my website. I hope the images and colors you came across made you feel good. I Wish you a nice 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
    Peter, Fien, Pepijn, Noud & Nobel

  • 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!
