Marie Blanco Hendrickx’s digital portraits
While I was busy making mud pies as a spriteful youth, delighting in the idea of throwing them at the neighborhood boys, artist Marie Blanco Hendrickx — aka Mijn Schatje — was busy making wishes and prayers on tombstones in the woods at her grandparents’ house at Le Chateau des Ifs. What has emerged from her unique upbringing is a world of beautiful characters, playing within a world of magical inspiration. If these characters were to speak, I would imagine them to write love sonnets with hints of sarcasm. KochxBos Gallery Amsterdam will be presenting her recent digital works from March 14 until May 9 in an exhibition entitled, Storytelling. So let her works take you to a world of sweet dreams, memories and wishes.

I’ve seen Marie’s works last year in Paris, it’s a lot more impressive when you can stick you nose to her big pictures, the vector art work is crazy and her imagination is bringing you to unknown paths, thumbs up
by the way you can see more of her works on her myspace since her website is pretty minimal
