He graduated with honours from the Academy of Photography in Amsterdam. In his still-life photographs Marcel likes to experiment with different materials and techniques creating original structures and shapes. There is nothing still in his photography; imagery is essentially dynamic and vivacious. Marcel captures the ethereal power of coloured paint merging with water, immortalizing a moment only able to happen only once. Materials are unpredictable and this is what appeals to him most – being surprised by the ingredients he works with.
