In this work, I explore human existence in a world burdened with emotional distress. Despite the obvious Christian iconography, I understand the figure as a universal symbol of the father-son relationship and the feeling of abandonment. It is the portrait of a "sacrificed" individual, whose pain is made physically tangible by the open chest wound and the tearful eyes.
For me, the central aspect is the exploration of the shadow in the sense of C.G.… Jung: The image as a negative visualizes those unloved character traits, unfulfilled desires, and unresolved conflicts that we often repress. The light body against a dark background turns the inside out and makes the hidden visible. The figure thus becomes a vessel for the universal human experience of isolation and the search for healing within one's own biography. It is a glimpse into that space where pain and insight are interwoven.
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).
