Marjolein Witte (Eindhoven, 1979) is a Dutch visual artist living and working in Utrecht. She studied Fine Art at the HKU University of the Arts and graduated in 2002. Witte builds, paints, draws and photographs physical and imaginary boundaries, constructions and manipulations. In doing so, she explores fundamental human needs such as safety, belonging or mattering, and their physical manifestations and possible tensions that arise in relation to the environment. Territorial behavior and the relationship between humans and nature form recurring themes in her work.
