SIRE, Silke Reyntjens (°1994) lives and works in Brussels as a freelance illustrator and teaches art to children at the Academy of Visual Arts in Anderlecht.

In her personal work, SIRE explores the perception of female nudity in Western art history.

With her robust, almost pawn-like bodies that sometimes only just fit into the frame, Silke wants to literally occupy the space that women are often denied by social norms and values.

She explores this theme in illustration, tattoo, painting, graphic design & photography.
