Dutch abstract artist Marit Harte translates the raw power of nature into abstract sculptural artworks that balance simplicity and intensity. Nestled deep within a UNESCO Natura 2000 World Heritage landscape, she does not merely observe nature—she exists within it. An autodidact, Harte has developed a distinct visual language through years of experimentation, learning directly from the materials themselves.
Her three-dimensional paintings, mirrors, and sculptures embody the delicate balancebetween strength and vulnerability, power and fragility. With each unique piece she aims to evoke a sense of wonder and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Harte works with a unique mix of materials she discovered through extensive experimentation, often incorporating discarded and reclaimed elements. Her process is repetitive and meditative—layering, drying, sanding—allowing textures and depth to emerge organically. She embraces imperfection as a testament to time and transformation. Her creations do not demand attention, but command a quiet reckoning. In their presence, time slows. In their textures, the elements whisper. In their stillness, they are an ode to Mother Nature.
