Marieke van den Bosch¹ is a designer based in the Netherlands who graduated in 2009. Berlinale Talent in 2023. Her focus lies in creating worlds for film. She is open to new cross-border² collaborations.
Among the recent films she admires are Sound of Falling, Sentimental Value, and Transit — a mixture of beautiful scripts, poetry, and the art of storytelling, alongside outstanding craftsmanship³ across all departments.
Thank y’all for your drive to make movies, tell stories, and write those beautiful scripts.
As a production designer I seek the particular. Finding a framework with character. By observation, documentation and imagination. A set plays its part. As a designer I play with height, depth, large or small, matte surfaces, mirrors, range of dull colors and so on. Production design for me is creating a poetic value. Color is used to visually layer the stories. Finding colors, shapes, negative shapes to be comfortable, worn, deep and suggestive. Deliver a balanced design that works as a stimulus. I am a painter for cinema.
In the field of artistic film, I work as a professional with professionals, with broad interests and skills. Based in Utrecht (Den Dolder) I have a beautiful self-build workspace with my partner in the woods. It’s a two-floor workspace, downstairs is the wood workshop (70m2) and upstairs (84m2) a dust free area and a nice little office. In order to run a project and to deliver it with a certain quality, there has to be a healthy work environment. Think about; time, organization, money, information and communication. The group of people I work with are international, educated, motivated, bit crazy, hardworking, organized and good listeners. I am always in for new contacts, to broaden and deepen the work field. Feel free to get in contact. Also, if you’re an artist and would like to join forces!
