"Marieny" Painting

My journey as an artist started more than 10 years ago when I studied architecture. A lot of sketching, a lot of painting, a lot of drawing. Later, I began creating sketches for myself, and that’s where the idea of balance came to me and moved me creatively. Most of my inspiration started to come from nature and its textures. When you see a tree up close, I notice all the tiny intricate details, it suddenly feels like a whole universe inside just one tree. That same tree needs to stay in balance, during calm weather and during a storm. Rooting itself and grounding itself in its environment. These thoughts about how the world is organised pushed me to the belief, concept and interpretation that everything inside us, as people, should also come into balance. Our feelings, emotions, the meanings we carry in life. Life moves fast now, full of events, sentiments, consciousness, rooted in our soul. Every day, we have to find a moment of balance. And that’s how my two main artwork lines came to life.
