This black-and-white portrait of Jacques Brel captures the Belgian icon’s intense emotion and timeless presence. Created by the artist HMI (Fouad Hachmi), the piece embodies Brel’s deep connection to his homeland, reflected in the stark contrast of light and shadow. The artwork’s minimalist style emphasizes the singer’s expressive features, offering a striking homage to one of Belgium’s most beloved cultural figures. This portrait was specially exhibited at the Belart Gallery during a tribute event in collaboration with Magnolia Retirement Home, making it a powerful symbol of memory and legacy.

This striking monochromatic painting captures the raw intensity and emotion of a powerful performance. The piece utilizes a grayscale palette, meticulously blending shades of black, white, and gray to create a dramatic contrast that draws the viewer’s eye directly to the expressive face of the central figure. The artist’s use of bold, dynamic brushstrokes conveys an incredible sense of motion and energy. The figure, seemingly captured mid-song, has their eyes closed and mouth open, portraying a moment of deep, soulful expression.
