Henri Biossiere is a Belgian artist born in 1982 who lives and works in Brussels. He studied fine art at university before dedicating himself to full time studio practice. Working primarily in oil on linen, Biossiere builds each painting through translucent layers of colour, allowing the weave of the cloth to remain visible so that every image feels gently discovered rather than imposed.
His subject matter moves between urban twilight, coastal light and the human figure caught in moments of quiet reflection. He begins with photographs taken during long walks, then edits the scene down to essential shapes and tones. Soft greys, muted blues and the occasional flash of vermilion are applied in thin veils over weeks, creating depth without heavy texture. The final surface appears almost weightless, a balance of precision and suggestion that invites the viewer to complete the narrative.
Recent bodies of work have focused on harbours at dusk, where moored boats and distant street lamps glow against failing sky. These paintings record not only a place but also a sensation: the hush that settles when wind drops and water turns glassy. Biossiere exhibits regularly throughout Belgium and has placed work in private collections across Europe and North America via Saatchi Art.
When he is not in the studio, he continues to walk coastal paths and city edges, gathering notes and snapshots that will feed the next canvas. By offering atmosphere ahead of detail, Biossiere reminds us that memory and landscape are equally fluid, shaped as much by mood as by fact.
