About this artwork
The diptych "Expansion / Ophelia Under Water" (each 40x40 cm) belongs to the series "Abstract Photography." Two entities pulsate as one organism: In "Expansion," biomorphic forms push outward, as if the image field itself were growing. Lines expand, leaves become vectors, rhythm becomes a pulse. "Ophelia Under Water" reverses the movement: floating parts, reflections, and soft edges dissolve the figure into the fluid—an image of floating, sinking,… and silence. Both panels operate on the threshold between object and abstraction; scale and origin remain open. Thus, the work negotiates growth and dissolution, proximity and withdrawal. I use light, tonal value, and texture to show the living without narrative—as a trace that unfolds between microstructure and landscape. Read together, the diptych is a study of becoming.
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).
