Marianne Naerebout

Marianne Y Naerebout was born in Rotterdam but soon her family moves to Curacao with the baby. How wonderful to grow up in a sun surrounded and cheerful colours surrounded island. In the vicinity of the beautiful sea and with the freedom of the outdoors. The young Naerebout enjoys the beach, nature and the cosiness of the people and the steel bands. Her head and heart fill with these images that consist mainly of colours, lots of colours and joy.
After wonderful years in the tropics, the family returns to the Netherlands. Here Naerebout first goes through the pedagogical academy and then goes on to study at the St Joost Art Academy in Breda.

After years of training in the Netherlands, the world lures and Naerebout leaves for Oman. She works there to pay her bills, but the tropical roster also gives her plenty of room to give shape to her artistry. All experiences and emotions are translated into beautiful colourful artworks. Naerebout is a people person and mingles easily with the local population. Here she also meets local artists. An individual style develops naturally through all these unique experiences. After three years of being in Oman, the journey continues to Damascus. Here there is a completely different atmosphere, this makes a deep impression on the young Naerebout. For five years she lives and works in this special city.

The smell, the colours and the friendly people involved give her a secure feeling. Her art grows deeper with these influences. They make her line play even more powerful, the colours even more intense. After Damascus she then lives in Malaysia, Albania, Gabon, America and everywhere she mingles naturally with the local population. And more and more the feeling of a world without borders grows. No borders between countries, not in colour, feeling, experience, everything has become unlimited in all its experiences.
