BRIGITTE BALBINOT
Brigitte Balbinot is a Swiss-Italian artist born in Lausanne, Switzerland and currently based in Palm Beach, Florida. Working primarily in encaustic, her paintings are meditative in nature, composed of wax, raw pigment, and elemental texture. Rooted in the principles of wabi-sabi and minimalism, Balbinot’s work evokes stillness, balance, and the quiet power of restraint. Her surfaces often unfold in subtle tonal shifts and horizontal divisions, drawing the viewer into a contemplative state. With a formal background in both science and art, Balbinot’s practice merges intuitive expression with technical precision, reflecting a deep sensitivity to energy, materiality, and the unseen. Balbinot’s work has been recognized for its refined aesthetic and its calming, soulful presence. Her paintings are held in private collections across the U.S. and Europe, and have garnered the attention of collectors, designers, and curators seeking meaningful, emotionally resonant work. As one reviewer noted, “Her paintings are quiet meditations, rooted in earth, breath, and fire, each one a portal to presence.” She continues to develop her body of work with the intention of creating spaces of peace and beauty in both residential and institutional settings. Her art is not simply visual, it is experiential.
