Maartje
van Bel
Maartje van Bel (2003, NL) is a visual storyteller, working in the ecological field. She works with natural materials, illustration and written words to create artworks that inspire to reconsider our relationship with nature, rooted in the belief that we belong within nature - not apart from it.
Central elements in her work are material itegrity, thoughtful decision-making and labor intensive craftmanship as a form of resistance against industrial precision and ecological inconsciousness within our society. This thoughtful way of working breaths life and meaning into the artworks that can only be achieved through human involvement.
Her works often consist of a spatial work, accompanied by a zine inviting the viewer to engage with her work.
