Fascinated by connections and relationships between people and herself, Marijntje Roos finds moments in archives consisting of texts, photos, videos, and memories. Through painting and writing, she shares those intimate moments and stories, lets them stand still, and tries to understand them. Surrounded by obsessions, desires, and questions, she finds herself in intimate and poetic atmospheres shaped by their colors and experiences.
It’s not fantasy; it already exists, and she simply represents it. The speed of the creative process ensures that the works become new snapshots, capable of translating the intensities and inconsistencies of the stories.
