Abstract art that catches your eyes
Marella Hesseling’s paintings don’t reveal everything at first glance. Her work invites you to look longer, step closer, and continuously discover new details. Lines, layers, and textures interact with light, while subtle shimmering materials and contrasts add depth. Each painting is a balance between expression and refinement—bold from a distance, intriguing up close. Whether it's a statement piece that completes an interior or a commissioned artwork, her work is always unique and thoughtfully created.
Unique works with layers of meaning
Each painting by Marella Hesseling tells more than what meets the eye. The multiple layers of paint not only create texture but also carry a symbolic meaning—just like in nature, in people, and in life itself. Layering represents growth, change, and hidden stories that gradually reveal themselves. This makes her art not only visually intriguing but also a source of endless discovery.
Dutch art with a hint of chaos
In her studio in Vleuten (Utrecht), Marella Hesseling builds her paintings through a combination of brush and palette knife, where intuition and precision merge. She draws inspiration from contrasts: the harmony and chaos in nature and within ourselves, the interplay of light and shadow, the layered depth of landscapes and cities.
"Every painting is a translation of impressions and emotions—not to create an exact image, but to evoke a feeling that invites ever-changing interpretations." – Marella Hesseling
