My name is Marilène van de Voorde, I’m half Romanian/half Dutch. I have a degree in clinical psychology and have worked for a long time in crisis management.

But my greatest passion is art. For a long time I wanted to be a hyper-realist. Today I have accepted that I never will be one. Simply because my drawings are not copies of reality.

My mission is to bring back traditional art in a world where digital art is becoming more and more popular. I hope traditional art-skills will never get lost. This is what distinguishes a human; the ability to convey messages through images.
