About this artwork
In "The Candle Circle" from the series "Portraits – Face and Sensation," I stage an intimate, almost secretive scene. A young figure sits in the center of an archaic circle of burning candles. Something is being invoked – but what? A spirit, a protective charm, an invisible power?
What's crucial for me is the boy's gaze: he has noticed the viewer. He looks half startled, half mischievous, as if he's been caught, yet simultaneously invites us into… his game. We are not outsiders, but are drawn into the enchantment.
The warm, flickering tones of the floor and the flames meet the still, tense posture of the body. For me, this circle is also an image of the magic of art itself – a moment in which my own youthful self opens up and is touched by something greater.
Marcel van Beek works with photography, painting, and graphic design, drawing on his artistic background from his studies at the Alanus University of Art and Social Sciences. His technique combines pictorialist influences with romantic-symbolist imagery. His photographs embody contemporary fine art photography and conceptual photography, often featuring monochrome recolors in tertiary colors.
He creates a poetic visual language interested in forms and structures, combining this with a modern, conceptual approach that claims social relevance. In his works, he explores inner and outer landscapes, conveying feelings of longing and threat, as well as a fascination with the hidden. He has published various art publications (most recently "World of Water," 2025), which are represented internationally in academy and museum libraries (including Vienna, Basel, Düsseldorf, and Berlin).
