Guilding Tradition
Marie De Decker combines photography and gilding to create portraits that balance modernity with timeless allure. Drawing from traditions that use gold and gemstones to symbolize spirituality and permanence, her work connects viewers to practices that transcend centuries. This blend of old and new enriches each piece, making it both contemporary and rooted in cultural heritage.
These materials evoke a timeless quality, connecting the viewer with artistic practices that have transcended centuries, while reinterpreting them for a contemporary audience. This interplay of old and new enriches the narrative behind each piece, highlighting the continuity of cultural expression.
Timeless Theme
Her portraits delve into universal concepts such as the fragility of human existence and the quest for eternity. The use of enduring materials like gold not only underscores these themes but also transforms each portrait into a symbol of permanence and reflection. These works do not simply portray individuals but capture the essence of humanity itself, offering a contemplative experience rooted in both personal and collective identity.
Sustainability and Craftsmanship
By merging traditional techniques with modern approaches, Marie De Decker’s portraits underscore the importance of sustainability and meticulous craftsmanship. Each piece is a unique expression of harmony between material and meaning, embodying the enduring value of art as a link between generations. Her work invites us to reconsider the role of cultural heritage in shaping a sustainable and meaningful future for contemporary art.
