Marianne van Roode
Graduation portrait by Ido Menco 1994

Each work starts with the desire to capture what can barely be touched: a feeling, an emptiness, a suspended fragment of time.
I work with layers and transparencies, in the space between what is visible and what remains hidden

between matter, memory, and doubt — unfolds the tension that draws me in.
The gesture, a coincidence, an intention: all take part in a search without fixed answers.
My work does not aim to tell a real story, but to open a crack. A pause. An invitation to look more slowly.
