About me
Hi, I’m Eva De Block — a Belgian visual artist, illustrator, and advocate for wellbeing and mental health. I combine my passion for art with a deep interest in healing, creativity, and connection, guiding others to explore their inner light and express themselves.
My Background & Training
I have a diverse educational background that bridges communication, art, and therapy:
BA in Marketing Communication (Erasmus Hogeschool, Brussels)
MA in Visual Arts & Graphic Design (LUCA School of Arts, Brussels)
Education Master’s in Visual Arts (LUCA School of Arts, Brussels)
Creative Therapy training (Centrum voor Avondonderwijs)
SAM - Methode (Script As Methode / SAM Cirkel, Level 1)
Ascendant Merkaba and Consciousness Techniques (Level 7)
These experiences have shaped my approach to art — as both a personal practice and a tool for healing and self-discovery.
My Journey
Growing up as a child of expats, I moved across the world, always searching for belonging and purpose. Returning to Belgium, I initially worked in a field unrelated to art. The stress and perfectionism of that job, combined with anxiety and burnout, led me into a period of intense personal struggle.
During therapy, I began drawing my feelings — first in sketchbooks, then on larger canvases. Art became a lifeline, helping me process emotions, understand myself, and find moments of solace. Over time, I realised how many people silently struggle with mental health, and I wanted my work to serve as a reminder: you are not alone.
Why I Create
My art reflects raw emotion, deep feeling, and hidden beauty. It is not always “pretty,” but it is honest — a window into the human experience. Recurring motifs, like my little bunny inspired by Alice in Wonderland, symbolize curiosity, imagination, and the courage to explore the unknown.
Through my work, I aim to:
Inspire self-expression and creativity
Offer gentle guidance and reflection
Encourage healing and connection
Today
I continue to grow as an artist and as a person, navigating life, self-esteem, visibility, and the challenges of the art world. I try to be as open and honest as I can about my journey. My hope is that by sharing my experiences, I can inspire others to embrace their own path, take small steps toward healing, and reconnect with their inner light — one brushstroke at a time.
Find your light. Express yourself. You are worth it.
