For those who feel art, not just see it.
I help people trust their own experience of beauty.
Music wasn’t my outlet, it was my intake – it fed what needed feeding. For 25 years I played as a violinist in the Metropole Orchestra. I see colors when I listen to music. Now I paint what I heard.
It’s called Synesthesia.
To keep the language of my soul as pure as possible, abstract art is my choice of creating.
If you are drawn to art that stirs something real – even if you can’t explain it – you are in the right place.
Also available in high quality Art prints on fade resistant museum quality paper or canvas.

FAQ
What kind of paintings do you create?
I create expressive, abstract and atmospheric watercolor paintings, inspired by music and beauty we tend to overlook in daily life.
Can I buy original paintings directly from your website?
Yes! You can view and purchase available original works in the Shop section of my website.
What makes watercolor your medium of choice?
Watercolor is like life itself, unpredictable and somewhat controllable, but the beauty is to go with the flow. It’s honest and vulnerable yet daring enough to play with its transparency.
Are your paintings framed?
Most of my paintings are framed with a dark/black frame and glass in front of it. Other paintings are made on canvas. The description will make clear if its framed or not. I try to deliver the painting ready to hang.

Showing off

‘Some while ago I bought a painting of Marianne she made as a copy of a Rembrandt painting. I’m not an actual artcollector but when I saw this painting was for sale, I just had to have it. Within a few days the painting was in my possession. It was professionally packed and for the package costs I couldn’t have picked it up myself. In the meanwhile this “Marbrendt” is showing itself off on the wall of my office. I am very glad with it.”

Very personal moment in time.
★★★★★
‘ I wanted to have this piece as we didn’t know it was being painted…it captures laughter and love. A photograph captures a moment in a split second but the painting took more than a second and has an energy around it that I like. The painting sits on a gallery wall, a busy through fare in our house, I see it when passing and I sometimes pause to remember that moment in time.

Your art brightens up my day

I was standing in front of this particular painting and couldn't pull myself away from it. There was so much love and warmth coming from it. I tried to explain to Marianne that never before I was so deeply touched by a painting. Now it's hanging on the wall right in front of me and I can watch it everyday. Sometimes I stand up to look at it closely and I still experience the same emotion from the time I bought it. Thank you Marianne for making my days more beautiful with your art.
