Marie-Louise Gerets
After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts, Marie-Louise combined work with creativity. During her psychosocial career, she analysed children's drawings. This awakened a desire to understand more about the creative side of things, and to further research and develop it. Both that of the world around her, and of herself.Her discoveries are expressed through the many chosen subjects: the colossal, the minute and the connection with the elements fire, water, earth, and air. Also using contradictory materials and the layers found in the art, human nature, and the natural world. All these subjects give away her fascination with the metaphysical world.
Her creative vision, the knowledge she attained through her degree, and her project experience all inspire her to actualise dynamic imagery in modern art and culture.
Nothing is something.
Something is not nothing.
If something is not nothing,
then nothing is really something
