Margo van Erkelens
Margo’s abstract portraits are a powerful exploration of the human experience. By focusing on anonymity and layers, she captures the complexity and beauty of life, creating art that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
The portraits that lack clear facial features are anonymous, unrecognizable, and yet personal. Free for your own interpretation. Sensitive, vulnerable, and at the same time strong and powerful. This series portrays people with life experience, made wiser by life. The layers represent life. “
The materials used are very diverse, combining different elements to enhance the richness and complexity of each piece. Each portrait is a unique blend of colors, shapes, and textures.
