Marieke Oudejans

"I make art, therefore I am!" - Marieke Oudejans

Marieke Oudejans is known for a distinctive style of painting that demonstrates the power of the images to both communicate and withhold.

Marieke Pioneers a decided narrative approach to abstract painting. She explores how information can be layered with a mixture of colors, shapes, movement and depth. The appearance of her works states the underlying moral complexity. The works often engage with contemporary human explorations, movements and sometimes human atrocities. The works insist on the ambiguity of meaning.

Marieke grew up in a very artistic, creative environment. Her father was an architect who also made paintings and statues. He taught her, from a really young age, how to look at things, to draw, design, built huts, make furniture and arty stuff.
Her mother was a musician and also very creative. She taught Marieke how to listen and love music and how to play music.

Marieke Oudejans' paintings are in many private collections.
"When I see my works at other peoples's I think proudly: I made that" she says.
