Mariken Oltheten is an artist who was born in 1958. What makes Mariken art? 'Besides sculptures, I usually make colourful, spatial, energetic prints. The prints are created by printing several layers on top of each other with different printing plates. They are thick cardboard plates that I painted with hard boat varnish so that you can draw / scratch, structures, shapes, partially inked or completely, it's just what I need. In this way there is only one copy of each print. The forms I use often evoke associations in the viewer, creating a direct bond between the viewer with his own experiences and my print.'
