Get to know me

"Hello there!
My name is Maria Meyer, but you can call me Marie.
I have been studying Communication Multimedia Design for a few years now,
where I have acquired various skills including coding with Arduino and website development, storytelling through games, films, and 2D graphics,
as well as working effectively under tight deadlines.

I am enthusiastic about utilizing these skills in my future projects and collaborations."

As soon as I complete my studies, my focus will be on pursuing my passions - making documentaries, capturing more photographs, and establishing my own clothing brand.
Everything I create is infused with love and passion. As a person of Surinamese descent, I take pride in the fact that the word for love in their language is 'lobi'.
That's why I have decided to name my future brand, atelier, or company with the same name:

Reach out into space

This was a 6 day course I followed summer '22 with artist Yasser Ballemans, in collaboration with Pier15 Skatepark and Stedelijk Museum Breda.
It was inspired by an exposition by Laurens Pieter Mol's "Nachtvlucht".
We each made individual art works in the theme astrology, astronomy, the dark, death, space and the color black.
We also made two rocketships together.

We made a collaboration piece for in the Museum of Breda.
I made the bottom with scrap pieces and I liked the idea of adding feet to the bottom of the rocket.

I had the honor of photographing the entire course, and the end result was exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum Breda.
As part of a collaborative effort, we created a piece for display at the Museum of Breda.
I contributed by constructing the base of the rocket using scrap pieces. To add a unique touch, I added a skirt and heels to the bottom.

Pier 15 has an exclusive ZINE, which features some of my photographs.

SHADE

SHADE is a clothing brand that also organizes events with live music performances.
Working for SHADE is an amazing expierience, because we are all working with young and beginning artists.

ADOBE SKILLS

In this project, I created an alter ego inspired by Naoko Takeuchi. I am a big fan of anime, drawn to it by the animation, music, and the unique Japanese language and alphabet.
My love for anime is particularly focused on the older ones.
Although I may not be the best at drawing, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of bringing to life a fictional character that was inspired by vintage Sailor Moon posters.
I scanned my hand-drawn sketches and refined them using Illustrator and Photoshop.
