Giselle Dekel is a Belgian painter based in Israel, working with acrylic and oil stick on canvas.
Her work explores repetition, color, and gradual transformation through layered grid structures, continuing a long-standing engagement with stripes and linear systems developed over the past two decades.
Built slowly through accumulation, the paintings create subtle shifts in tone, rhythm, and surface. What first appears systematic begins to loosen, revealing irregularities, interruptions, and moments of imbalance.
Within this structure, a quieter quality emerges, soft, imperfect, and human, where repetition becomes a way of holding feeling rather than controlling it.
