She works with materials which come across her during world tours or on a quick run trough her own home port Rotterdam. Marieta shapes materials without loosing a lack of respect for the authenticity of the substances. Manipulations performed by ARTist Marieta are modest. Her mastery and craftiness contribute to the subtlety of Marieta’s ARTworks.

Travelling far regions have a lot influence on Marieta Reijerkerk’s design. Even so, special cultural habits which have been smiling upon her during trips. Marieta made for instance journeys through Mexico, the rainforest of Honduras, France, Switzerland and China. Marieta says: “The journeys I make are important for my work. Things I collect during my travels have attracted my attention by their structure, their surface, colour and shape. Often they smell and feel, as if they were remnants of archeologically excavations. Many things I capture on photo. It’s not that I seek for inspiration during my trips. Things cross my path and meet my eyes.”

In the ARTwork and design she has made since 1995, after she completed her study, you feel the zest of love for diverse intercultural printing techniques. In her present-day 3D-objects, Marieta goes back to the base of printing. Besides using old Chinese printing techniques and woodprints, Marieta still does tricks with chemicals.

At the 2007 Biennale Dell'Arte Contemporanea della Città di Firenze Marieta received the Award Best Artist, the choice of the President of the Biennale.
