Marjolein van Haasteren

Marjolein van Haasteren (1967) works with the external manifestations of nature. Her paintings are fiction-filling landscapes, without human presence. 'In transparent layers I am looking for the landscape form, on the border of figuration, abstraction and romance. Partly due to the cinematic atmosphere, the paintings evoke universal memories: everyone recognizes the images, nobody knows exactly where or when.'

The work has elements that reminds us of Jugendstil and Romanticism, executed with a loose hand and clean lines. Water is a recurring element. As a painter she moves both below and above the surface of the water. With mythology as the starting point, her oeuvre remains evocative, without being narrative.
