About this artwork
"In Sleep" depicts a space consisting only of proximity. I look at the familiar body, not its face: arm, hand, fabric—enough to sense presence. The colors carry what words would disturb: the deep green of the blanket like a calm breath, the red like stored warmth. A residue of the day still lingers in the tension of the fingers; a fine scar on the skin, a small memory. I work with condensation: large surfaces, clear edges, little surroundings. Thus,…
the private is not betrayed and yet remains touchable. Sleep opens up that intermediate state in which my series "Silent Places" breathes: no pathos, no drama—only a concentrated calm that is both protection and exposure. I capture what otherwise slips by: the weight of proximity, the quiet ringing of stillness, a moment that says more because it doesn't speak out loud.

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).
