Anita Fleerackers' childhood was spent on the family farm, thus closely related to animality.From the day she had to face the brutal and impressive strength of a bull, she has remained deeply influenced by the event which keeps pervading her artistic research.Her ceramics sculptures conjure up strength and restraint, their warm colours stressing on the force effect.  Regarding her paintings, her large-sized pixelised variations reveal her wide creative range .Her inspiration springs from her immediate environment, focusing on an harmonious living together.
