Hi, my name is
Marloe Tegelaar
My background lies in Product Design, fashion, and trend forecasting.
Only later, when I asked myself, “What did I love most as a child?”did I find my way home to painting.
Since then, through dedication, self-study, and deepening technical skill, I have been building my painting practice.
My work has evolved from individual portraits to cohesive series unified by atmosphere, color, and emotional tone.
Where I once searched for my visual language, it now speaks with greater clarity. Recent works are marked by a consistent palette and a psychological depth that resonates.
My development reflects an integration of earlier disciplines:
the eye for form and context from design, the tactile and stylized approach from fashion, and the conceptual insight shaped by my personal life and work as a trend forecaster.
This combination makes my work distinctive and deeply personal.
“My goal is not merely to depict beauty but to offer a reflection on the complexity of human emotions.”
