BRAFA 2026 • Delen.ART

The story of Delen Private Bank and art is both one of love at first sight and strong partnerships.

Together with the FIBAC art collection, which showcases a curated selection of Belgian postwar abstract art, Delen Private Bank’s stand at BRAFA 2026 presents an exceptional collaboration with four museum partners under the theme ‘Resonance in modern Belgian art’.

We invite our visitors to discover a unique artistic universe created by Anne-Sophie Delen, divided into five spaces that are connected through inspiration: ideas pass naturally from one to another, and artists, periods and styles meet and influence each other through both harmony and contrast and both works of art and objects of design.

We are proud to welcome KMSKA, Mu.ZEE, M Leuven and Musée de la Photographie who each present their unique vision and curation.

The KMSKA presents a powerful selection of modern art that evolves around the bold choice for materiality and technique. The showcased works unveil the clear core of modern art, rooted in the endless dynamism of material and imagination.

The selection of Mu.ZEE aims to present the rich diversity of Belgian art history, made possible through acquisitions, donations and long-term loans.

M Leuven draws from a lesser known part of their rich collection and surprises with a distinctive dialogue between figurative and abstract painting of both past and present times.

Musée de la Photographie presents a selection of Belgian photographers that have casted a new and abstract gaze upon the medium. The black-and-white photographic abstraction echoes the birth of Belgian modern art and unfolds a quiet inquiry in search of diverse modes of expression, new meanings and ways of perceiving the world.

Please note that the artworks shown at our stand are part of museum and private collections, and are not for sale.

Delen, partner in fine arts

The story of Delen Private Bank and art is one of genuine passion and longstanding partnerships. At the heart of our mission is care – for the financial wellbeing of our clients, and also for the world of fine arts. Just as we steward wealth with attention and respect, we support art with dedication and purpose.

Bringing art to our clients

Our journey with art began over two decades ago with Filips De Ferm, former board member and founder of the FIBAC art collection, who brought his passion for Belgian postwar abstract art to the bank. Together with Anne-Sophie Delen, he initiated a cultural commitment that continues to shape Delen today. Their shared expertise, enthusiasm and vision laid the foundation for the bank’s distinctive approach to art.

More than 20 years later, the Delen Art Committee – comprising Filips De Ferm, Anne-Sophie Delen and Marie Genicot – continues this mission by making art accessible, building bridges between artists and audiences, and inspiring all who engage with it.

Giving artists and galleries a stage

Rather than building a large private collection, we focus on collaboration – with artists, galleries, museums and private collectors. Through these valued partnerships, we offer a stage and contribute meaningfully to the development of the art world.

While our love for art is rooted in history, our gaze is forward – we aim to preserve and celebrate artistic expression for generations to come.

True to our identity

Our offices offer a platform to established names who have helped shape the art world as well as to the many hidden artistic hidden gems within the rich Belgian art scene.

The Delen Art Committee ensures these choices remain true to the Delen.ART brand: Belgian postwar abstract art as the foundation, supported by thoughtful curation that reflects coherence and relevance. This vision is quintessential to the identity of Delen Private Bank.

BRAFA – Delen’s bride

Delen’s connection with art is closely linked to BRAFA. In 2007, the fair marked the first public stage of this artistic journey, when Filips De Ferm recognised it as an ideal platform to introduce Delen authentically to the right audience. The partnership, rooted in shared values, has since grown into a relationship of mutual support—earning BRAFA the affectionate title of “Delen’s bride.”
