MARIEL BORST PAUWELS

(1960 Ede, the Netherlands)

Mariel Borst Pauwels studied BA Fine Art and MA Visual Arts at Bradford School of Art. Originally from The Netherlands she has lived and worked in West Yorkshire since 2000.

Her work explores the overlooked, anonymous and unpopulated places, such as airports, motorways and urban waste lands. She creates quiet compositions using her own and found photographs as starting points. She mainly uses oils, but also incorporates household paint, collage, photo transfers and found objects.
