Marijke de Vries
Odisea

During her residency in ´ace, de Vries investigates various graphic and printing techniques; aquatint to silk combined with monotypes and chine collé.

Marijke for her training, also linked to the world of dance and choreography, plans to make a small series on paper to reflect in her work, another of her passions that has brought her closer to Argentina, Tango.

ARTIST’S TESTIMONY

A transformation, like Odysseus, often occurs when one is away from home, as I did in my own Odyssee having traveled to Buenos Aires sixteen times. Working mainly with dance / choreography, I discovered different layers of reality in the city, reflecting worlds within. My adventures and experiences led me to reflect, shaping the theme of this project. The way in which the “layers” of external reality are reflected in the soul create tension, leading to stories that ask for translation into “visual poetry”.
