About this artwork
"The Curtain" is my tentative gaze. I approach the hidden not head-on, but through folds, hems, and edges. The cloth falls heavy and slanted, refracting the light into warm and cold zones, as if it wanted to tell a story and yet conceal it. Behind the fabric, a form hints—slats, perhaps an object, perhaps just a wall shadow—enough to set the imagination in motion. In the "Labyrinth" series, I'm interested in this moment of semi-transparency: the…
secret is close, but not yet revealed. The curtain is both threshold and guardian; I paint the tension between hand and fabric, between the desire to reveal and the tension of what will then become visible.

Marcel van Beek works with photography, painting, and graphic design and holds a degree with honors from Alanus University of Arts and Social Sciences. His technique combines pictorialist influences with a romantic-symbolist visual language. His photographs embody contemporary fine art photography and conceptual photography, often featuring monochrome recolored works that have received numerous international awards.
He creates a poetic visual language interested in forms and structures, combining this with a modern, conceptual approach that claims social relevance. In his work, he explores inner and outer landscapes, conveying feelings of longing and threat, as well as a fascination with the hidden. He has published several art books (most recently "World of Water," 2025), which are represented in international academy and museum libraries (including Vienna, Basel, and Minneapolis).
