About the artist :

Marilyn Sonneveld, born in 1990 in the Netherlands, is an interdisciplinary visual artist who graduated from the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. She currently lives and works in Amsterdam. Her artistic practice spans various materials, techniques, and scales, including large-scale oil paintings, glass sculptures, panels, and installations. Through a dynamic interplay of color and form, her work explores intimate narratives that address themes of the body, self-acceptance, vulnerability, and sexuality.

In 2023, for her first institutional exhibition, When the Sun Comes Up, at Kunsthal Rotterdam, Sonneveld began exploring the transformation of her own physicality in anticipation of motherhood. This led to a new series where she moves further into abstraction. Her oil and glass paintings blend colors to create atmospheric compositions, moving away from the defined lines and strokes of her earlier works. They evoke a sense of temperature, pressure, and humidity, resembling weather maps. Within these abstracted landscapes, glimpses of intimate scenes emerge, like distant memories leaving only traces and shadows.

In 2024, Sonneveld was nominated for the Royal Award for Modern Painting. Her first institutional solo exhibition took place at Kunsthal Rotterdam in 2023. Her recent exhibitions include De Nieuwelingen at Van Eesteren Museum, Heat Wave at No Man’s Art Gallery, Untitled Miami with Badr el Jundi, No Man’s Art Popup Gallery in Mexico City, Natch at PADA in Lisbon, High Tide at Het HEM in Zaandam, Selected Emerging Artist in a solo show at Unfair Amsterdam, Mama Cash Feminist at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and Everything is Better When I’m With Me at No Man’s Art Gallery in Amsterdam.

Her work is part of public and private collections, including De Rijksoverheid Collection, Nederlandsche Bank, ABN Amro Bank, and YCC Club in the Netherlands.
