Marieke Bekke

Spontaneous style meets rigorous composition in the compelling work of Dutch painter Marieke Bekke. Her joyful personality is reflected in her ar twork which is inspired by stories of living together in the city or the country, love, family, and, she says, happiness. She paints with genuine passion both for her subject and for her craft, and believes that her ar t is there to bring happiness to herself and others. Marieke’s striking mixed media images are characterised by strong contrasts, vigorous brush work, interesting colour combinations and accessible subject matter.

At the end of the process she delineates and highlights the image with expressive black lines – a feature which renders her work uniquely recognisable.

“My chosen subjects are universal and I hope everyone can identify with them. Each piece is spontaneous, unique in its imperfections just like me, and reflects how I speak, think and live. Every piece is a piece of myself.”
