Looking for beauty in a raw & fragile world
Originals, Prints, Miniatures and more
Wild & Fragile
Within my work lives the paradox. I love to combine contradictory features and qualities. Strong electric colours to create a raw and vivid world on the canvas together with the playfulness of soft pastels, intricate lines and miniature marks to create expressive and evocative work. Nature's and my own vulnerability as a human being are both deeply integrated.

Here is a sneak peek...
Maurille de Smalen is a Dutch artist living in the country side.
A wild child by nature, born in 1970, her paintings are always a celebration of life, its raw edges, its fragility, its pleasures.
"Whether it's a splash of colour in the room, or conversation starter, or somewhere to dive into for the troubled mind, I want my paintings to touch the soul."
