Mara Liem
Fine Artist, Illustrator and Designer, Mara Liem is of Asian heritage and currently resides in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where she was born and raised. She graduated in Fine Arts at the Academie van Kunst en Vormgeving (now: AKV| Sint Joost) in Den Bosch in 2007. Her life in Finland and Iceland has made a significant impact on her work.
Maraβs work seems to exist in a strange, distorted reality, where intimacy, secrets and lore are vital. She loves to play with contrasts, such as dark and light, touchable textures and emptiness, appearance and concealment and uses these as a means to enchant those who behold it.
