About the Item

Marlien Kulsdom's artistic practice is shaped by her background in fashion design and her training at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute. Rooted in a deep attention to detail, composition, and structure, her work draws from nature, the female form, mathematical systems, and surreal symbolism. After beginning her creative path in fashion, Kulsdom became increasingly aware of the industry’s environmental impact. This realization led her to leave fashion behind and turn toward painting as a more honest and sustainable form of expression. Her practice now explores climate change, escapism, and the search for sanctuary, imagining the canvas as a threshold to another world just beyond the visible horizon. Kulsdom’s paintings often glow with neon light, a visual language once associated with hope, progress, and futurity, now charged with unease. These luminous forms pulse against muddied tones of ochre, indigo, and green, creating a tension between digital illusion and the physical world. Through this contrast, she questions the comfort of curated realities and asks what is lost when the tangible, imperfect, and meaningful begins to slip from view. Her layered surfaces reveal traces of earlier decisions, revisions, and shifts beneath the final image. This process mirrors the complexity of life itself, with its winding paths, intersections, and quiet attempts to find balance within chaos. Through her work, Kulsdom invites the viewer to pause, step out of the digital haze, and enter a space that is tactile, uncertain, and deeply real.
