(Maastricht, Holland, 1947)
Hanneke Beaumont was born in Maastricht in 1947. She studied sculpture at the Academie des Arts Braine-L’Alleud from 1977 to 1983 and at the Ecole National Superieure de la Cambre in Brussels from 1983 to 1985 Her work can be found in public and private collections in Belgium and abroad.
She has won numerous prizes. In 1993 she won the First Prize at the International Art Centre of Chateau Beychevelle (France), with a similar work, to the one he left in the Plaza del Príncipe in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, but in terracotta.
When Hanneke Beaumont creates human figures, she is not looking for individual likeness, but for a survey of the truth or the posing of universal questions, and under her aspect of classical, more abstract figuration, it is the gaze and the attitude that penetrates, the one into the secret labyrinths of thought and reflection, while the other reflects, in the serenity of maintenance, the unbearable contradiction between the peace of the body and the restlessness of the soul.
