About this artwork
"Les Fleurs du Mal III" is my symbolist counterpart to "Silent Places." The sunflowers—icons of light—stand here like late stars; their heads bear wreaths of seeds, as if dark halos. From them rise green veils, both the breath of the flower and a hint of poison. I think of Baudelaire: beauty and decay share the same stem. The background opens up a night sky, but no wind stirs the scene. In this stillness lies the uncanny; the plants seem to wait,… as if they know more than we do. I work with condensation and contrast, letting the colors glimmer until the forms begin to oscillate between attraction and defense. This creates a silent place of the "flowers of evil": not loud, not moral, but a suspended state where grace and shadow illuminate each other. Those who look may feel the veils changing the air—a quiet rush, a polite warning.
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).
