"Avec leur sensation organique, leurs petites imperfections et leur honnêteté séduisante, les œuvres de Hannah De Corte - qu’elles soient subtiles et petites, ou encapsulées à grande échelle - apparaissent presque comme des peaux qui caressent doucement le monde extérieur. Une invitation réconfortante à peindre." – Evelyn Simons, December 2020.
