Marie Rosen

Born in 1984, Marie Rosen lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. Graduated from the prestigious art school La Cambre, Rosen's imagination and aesthetic are truly rooted in Belgium. Her delicate paintings recall the works of Flemish Primitive painters as much as the Surrealists, while reminding us of our daily encounters in a familiar or even domestic world. Painted on wood, copper or paper, they might recall ex-voto paintings or geometrical patterns found in typical art deco homes of her native city, they might appear like realist portraits, but they intrinsically allude to a sense of the uncanny. We never truly know what is going in her paintings, we just know it is about us, about the human condition and the world we live in. Rosen's works are in reputable private collections in Europe and is several institutional collections in Belgium.
