Maurille is an artist rendering emotional vulnerability through the use of layering acrylics, pencil and ink creating colourful intuitive compositions.
Born in 1970 and raised in the middle of the Netherlands, Maurille attended Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Utrecht the Netherlands. Here she studied art in many different forms, holding BA’s in Audiovisual Design, Fashion Design and Art Education and a Master’s in Fashion & Business. After a successful career in fashion, Maurille is now solely focusing on her art, writing and illustrating. She lives in the Dutch countryside.
“At the heart of my paintings lie endless life experiences. I explore vulnerability, the inner voice and the raw emotional rollercoaster of being alive. My work is very intuitive and based on emotions and thoughts. They mirror and reflect on personal experiences, moments of joy and sorrow. Taking these experiences and placing them in front of me on the canvas is my way of experiencing life in full. My work is colourful and the mark-making reflects my immediate emotions and the way I see the world, translating the stories I carry with me into compositions. Discovering myself and digging in deeper with every brush stroke.”
