about me
Passionate, sensitive, cheerful, enthusiastic and also calm. I like to talk and laugh, but I am also a very good listener. People often label me as extrovert, but to be honest I am very introvert. I feel good in nature. I like to swim in the (cold) sea, surf (or at least try to), walk, (race) bike and do yoga. I enjoy simple things and as someone recently described it beautifully... 'I could live on air'. I find the elements special; the rising sun, the moon, the stars, the animal life and that we are allowed to be here on earth!
about byligtenberg
byligtenberg is my own company, specialized in unique, handmade artworks and illustrations. I make original drawings and pieces of art, as well as reproductions of ink pen drawings in limited editions, which are initially made entirely by hand and with an eye for detail. In addition, I offer custom-made artwork and personal illustrations. In addition, I work together with other creative professionals and entrepreneurs. I offer services such as design, from graphic design to creating print-ready files or digitally for websites.
Sustainability is central to my work: each project is realized in the most environmentally friendly way, in harmony with the elements earth, water, fire, air and ether. The stability of earth is reflected in my choice of high-quality, sustainable materials. The flow of water is reflected in my flowing lines and organic designs. Fire symbolizes my passion and energy for each project, while air stands for freedom and creativity. Ether, the connecting element, inspires me to create art that touches and connects people.
With byligtenberg I strive to create in an organic and conscious way, while using my passion for art to make my dream of an artistic, sustainable life come true (artful living).
Feel free to contact me, if you want to know more about me or my work.
Love and vive la vie,
Marleen Ligtenberg
'Little drops of water
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land
So the little minutes
Humble though they be
Make the mighty ages
or eternity'
