See It On Your Wall "Bruxelles Ma Belle" by Anthea Missy, 2026 The Art Scoop: A Brussels cityscape featuring stylised buildings including the Basilica, the Palace of Justice and modern skyscrapers. In the foreground, two friends sit together at small café tables with food and drinks. The figure on the right holds an open umbrella with raindrops falling beneath it. The furniture appears animated. The composition uses playful surreal details inspired by the Franco-Belgian comic tradition, with a subtle nod to Magritte. In the downpour, the two friends share a quiet moment, suggesting companionship and joy in everyday life. The title references the song Bruxelles by Dick Annegarn, later covered by Angèle.

“Bruxelles, attends-moi, j’arrive,
Bientôt je prends la dérive”
~ Dick Annegarn, Bruxelles (1974)

Vertical view of interior of Solvay Library in Brussels featuring a gigantic hall in eclectic style with precious-wood décor and bookshelves, an upstairs balcony area, mosaics and coloured stained glass windows. A woman crossing the hall adds a dimension of the place. The Solvay Library, the magnificent setting of the former Institute of Sociology, was created under the impulse of Ernest Solvay and built by the architects Constant Bosmans and Henri Vandeveld. Inaugurated in 1902, the Solvay Institute of Sociology is one of the most prestigious remains of the Leopold Park. Abandoned and vandalized for several years, this listed building was restored to its former glory in 1995 after a restoration campaign led by the architects Deleuze and Metzger. After having hosted researchers from all over the world, it is now a place for private and cultural events.

Look up into Brussels' Brucity administrative center with a black and white rendering. This modern building features a great circular atrium of eight floors, two glass elevators in the middle, and a glass ceiling at the top. The light reflections on the circular glass elements and on the elevators create a graphic vortex effect.

Look up shot of a man holding a suitcase, his silhouette contrasting on a light blue-grey sky, starting to descend stairs into a dark passage-way leading to a station. The image also shows a subtle play of colours responding to dominating shadows with touches of blues (sky, flags in the background) and some warm orange lines on the structure framing the stairs, on the edges of the steps and in a Belgian flag.

Lijkt me wel iets voor een stad met auto-overlast, chronisch fileprobleem en gat in de begroting.

A bunch of people huddle around a long table, serving each other food. In the foreground a blackboard says "meal, music, coffee, painting.. For whoever wants it"

Bruxelles, Gare du Midi.

Brussels's South Station is home to quite some homeless people. It's great to see the homeless and the housed sharing food and music, against all odds.

A yellow oldtimer Porche 356 with a pink roof, standing in front of Brussels' Autoworld car museum. The hood shapes a big smile while the headlight form two googly eyes. Brussels' Cinquantenaire Arch is reflected on the yellow hood. The license plate reads B-2015.

Symmetrical vertical view of the 19th century neo-Renaissance style covered passage Galerie Bortier in Brussels showcasing wrought iron, wood and marble works topped by an arched glass ceiling. On each side, old book stores. In the foreground a stylistic curved bronze hand rail leading down visitors to the book stores. In 2024 this Galerie was transformed into a food hall and most of its book stores have now become little restaurants and cafes.

Brussels' La Monnaie/De Munt theater shining with Christmas illuminations and reflected on La Monnaie's square on a wet winter evening. The perspective chosen by the photographer with two long, golden illuminated buildings on each side of the theater, adds two wings to that "angel".
