About Marieke Martens
As an artist and storyteller, I pour my soul into every piece, finding inspiration in my personal journey, nature, and the power of self-discovery.
My art is all about growth, healing, and embracing the beauty in life's complexities. From creating original art to writing to you and directing video content, my goal is to inspire others through reflection, growth, and self-expression.
—My art—
Strength, Courage, Peace
I describe my work as abstract realism. My art is deeply rooted in my personal journey—navigating mental health, self-discovery, and the search for inner peace.
Each piece reflects resilience, vulnerability, and the quiet strength found in healing.
I draw inspiration from raw emotion, the ever-changing nature of growth, and the beauty of transformation, inviting you to find your own story within my work.
—My Technique—
Bringing order to chaos
I love working with a variety of materials, always choosing the highest quality in art supplies. I paint on high quality linen canvas cloth.
Always trying to find interesting ways to make different materials come together and enhance each other, I spend my days experimenting with markers, inks, spray paints, acrylic paints, and textures.
As a finishing touch I apply a final layer of oil paints to create the highest level of depth possible.
—My story—
A journey of growth and self discovery
From a young age, I struggled with depression and anxiety disorders, including social anxiety, generalized anxiety, and agoraphobia. Working with a therapist has been a key part of my journey, helping me heal, discover more about myself, and view life with a more positive outlook.
This journey has deeply influenced my art, as much as my art has been a way to express myself. Now, I want to share it with others who might be facing similar struggles. Through my art, I hope to provide a sense of connection and understanding, letting people know they are not alone.
I aim to help people who are struggling in life and inspire them to dream of a better future. My art is a testament to the beauty that can be found even in the midst of personal turmoil.
Join me on this artistic journey by discovering my latest works and exhibitions. Let's dream of a brighter future together.
About Marieke Fine Arts
This isn't just a one-woman show. While I stand in the spotlight and create my works of art, I'm assisted by my partner, Michael.
He's the magic behind the camera and brings my ideas to life, capturing every moment beautifully. He also supports the behind-the-scenes work, from administration to logistics, ensuring everything runs smoothly so I can focus on what I do best—creating.
Together, we make Marieke Fine Arts a space of creativity, collaboration, and meaningful experiences. We couldn’t do it without each other, and we hope you join us along our journey!
