Antigoni Effraimidou

Originally from Greece, Antigoni Effraimidou was drawn to painting from an early age. Rather than following a conventional academic path, she cultivated her artistic voice independently, allowing intuition, observation, and experience to shape her practice. Now based in Brussels, she returns to painting with renewed focus and conviction, embracing it both as a personal and expressive necessity. Her art oscillates between figurative and surrealist expression, working across media including oil, graphite, charcoal, ink and pastel.

Antigoni’s work delves into the power and vulnerability of the human body, using it as a vessel to externalize emotion and reveal the intricate dynamics of romantic relationships. People often exist in close proximity yet remain unreachable, reflecting a social condition shaped by systemic pressure, digital mediation, and the normalization of solitude.

In this work, the female body becomes a site of memory and resistance. Marked by scars, it bears witness to intimate and collective histories; traces of love, rupture, and emotional loss. By shifting attention away from the face, Antigoni resists the visual reduction of women, giving space for the body to speak through experience rather than appearance. Here, the body remembers before the mind does, carrying stories that persist even when identity is erased or silenced.

Through this exhibition, she invites viewers to sense the intensity and fragility of human emotion, to recognize themselves in the gestures, and to experience the unspoken language of bodies in relation to one another.

The Nono

With this first self-composed and self-produced album, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Renaud Arents Reina, aka “The Nono,” presents a biopic shaped by twenty years of involvement in music and the socio-cultural sector in Belgium - his homeland, in Spain -the land of his roots or even in Palestine. It is an ambitious undertaking: both musically and in its written content, the album distills the essence of more than one hundred songs composed over the past two decades. Blending rock, folk, country, indie and blues influences, the record unfolds as a cascade of sounds and words that convey emotion, melancholy and reflection on our singular nature—caught between social norms, the challenges of our era and the deep-seated need for self-determination we all share.
