Marjolein Bos:
Born in Laren NH (Netherlands), 1952
Marjolein studied at the Art Academy in Tilburg. After that she followed numerous courses as part of her further education.
For about 30 years she has been working as a freelance illustrator/graphic designer, portrait artist and painter. Works in private, public and corporate collections. In the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland she has also realised a number of large projects, such as a mural in the theatre in Münster (D), in the RaboBank and the head office of the SNS Bank (NL), Wijnmuseum Arnhem (NL) and painting in a chapel in Saas-Fee (CH). In 2009 and again in 2013 Bos spent two weeks as a guest at the Symposium of Art in Slovakia.
Marjolein has used various techniques in painting numerous portraits on private commission, for example of mayors or groups. As an illustrator she has received repeated commissions from publishers and a children's cookbook illustrated by the popular chef Irma Dütsch.
Working and living in the beautiful surroundings of the four-thousand-meter peaks and glaciers of Saas-Fee, she was moved to paint the mountainous environment.
Marjolein founded Galerie Maste 4 in 2009.
The interest in her mountain series led her to send paintings to the Liner Museum Appenzell to be received as a new member of the Guild of Swiss Mountain Painters, and she succeeded. This was in 2012.
After moving to Bern in 2021 and deciding not to open a new gallery, she started working in her new studio. She still got beautiful orders to paint mountains, but after closing her studios (also in the Netherlands) and destroying a lot of work, she wanted something new. First, she started traveling. Visiting new countries would definitely inspire her.
Early 2023 started with the appointment to have an exhibition in Zermatt at the end of the year. After visiting Zermatt a few times, she decided to paint not only the Matterhorn, but also a series of surrealist paintings. While she was painting, she slowly changed her style and developed a completely new series of drawings and paintings. Some of those paintings are now in the exhibition of The Art Gallery Zermatt and she is still working on them. So 2024 will be a year of change.
