In "Strandtor" (Beach Gate), on the chalk cliffs of Rügen, I encounter an ensemble of driftwood that lies like a signpost in the landscape. Three trunks form an almost triptych-like structure: in the foreground, the heavy, light-colored trunk as the base; above it, the large, arched main trunk; and further back, a third, slender form that repeats the arrangement and extends the space to the right. Together, they form—almost mystically—a gateway:… a temporary threshold between water, gravel, and steep bank, as if the sea itself had created it.
I deliberately use the bluish tint to evoke a sense of coolness: damp air, subdued light, the harsh breath of the sea. In this cold color palette, wood, chalk, and clouds seem to draw closer together, as if they were made of the same substance. I am interested in this interplay of material and atmosphere – when landscape becomes an experience: rugged, still, and imbued with Nordic austerity.
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).
