Tina Gillen donates her complete graphic work to the BnL

Tina Gillen, a Luxembourgish artist, has donated her entire graphic oeuvre to the National Library of Luxembourg.

In doing so, she ensures both its comprehensive preservation and long-term integration into the national collections.

Tina Gillen (born in 1972 in Luxembourg) is among the leading figures of contemporary art in Luxembourg. Best known for her painting, she translates motifs from everyday life –interiors, architectural fragments, landscapes – into clear forms and evocative, atmospherically rich pictorial spaces. Alongside this, she has developed a coherent body of graphic work.

Her prints reveal how Gillen uses techniques such as screen printing, lithography and linocut as a field for experimentation within her artistic language. Rather than serving solely as a means of reproduction, they open up new perspectives on motifs situated between reality and abstraction, proximity and distance.

The National Library showcases a selection of the artist’s works in its reading room until December 2025.
