The evolution of Modern Art, brought to you by {name}

Kai Brückner

About this work: Without risk, everything stays safe… but also silent.

There comes a moment when the soul whispers: “Dare.”
Dare to choose. Dare to move. Dare to lose, in order to find yourself.

Progress asks for courage, not recklessness,
but the quiet bravery to touch the unknown.
To release your comfort and trust what is not yet visible.

Mariska's work is printed on 300g baryta Hahnemühle art paper. Delivered with a certificate of authenticity, signed and numbered.

Mariska was born in Suriname, South America. From origin Surinamese, Indonesian, African, and a bit of Dutch origin, she grew up in the Netherlands. Growing up in beautiful Vermeer city - Delft, living in Rembrandt country the Netherlands, got in touch with Venice for an assignment for a perfume brand and was deeply touched by Venice baroque art, architecture and history. All these influences in her life, inspired her. Mariska began incorporating these inspirations into her own work, with influences from her life and existence.

Mariska spends a lot of time carefully constructing her sets, which also involves her other talents. She sketches with charcoal, works with gold, textiles, and is an excellent photo manipulator. All of her talents come together in every piece of work she creates.

Mariska primarily photographs women, including bold women in glamorous, mysterious, and beautiful settings, with soft skin tones and a touch of fantasy in a sensual atmosphere, combined with the sensitivity of the old masters. The women she photographs seem unaware of their surroundings but remain irresistibly dominant.
She photographs the human figure in human emotions. She speaks in a universal language we all understand, no matter where in this world we live in.
