Calaveras means "skulls" in Spanish. These are important in Mexican imagery and are often associated with the country's culture. It is, therefore, not surprising that in addition to Belgian artists, the gallery offers a beautiful showcase for Mexican graphic art talents. In its boutique, Calaveras stocks a fine selection of serigraphs, engravings, photographs and original printed works.

Moirés is just a stone's throw from the Grand-Place. Conceived by Gabrielle, it feels like it has been plucked straight out of the arty neighbourhoods of Brooklyn. A wealth of creativity adorns its brick walls. Silkscreen prints, risograph prints, engravings... Moirés highlights the various techniques of the printed image. Belgian and international illustration talents have found a beautiful setting here.  It should be noted that Gabrielle, also an artist, organises risograph workshops here.
