Marleen M. is part of the Puredistance team and she creates watercolor illustrations and portraits that are used for promotional materials and social media.
Marleen: “Since I was young I was always drawing in my spare time, and also during classtime when the teacher was not paying attention to me. Today I am really happy to work for a company where my art perfectly fits. I try to translate the deeper and finer emotions I feel into the portraits I make. I would describe my style as: feminine, romantic and melancholic.”
For Puredistance Marleen’s art is invaluable. With her unique style she illustrates the world of Puredistance in a way which in every respect conveys its timeless beauty. Below some illustrations she has made for us.
Marleen about Puredistance No.12: “It is a perfume that is hard to put into words. When I first smelled it, it was something I had never smelled before. To me it is feminine, soft, natural and refeshing. It has so many different layers that you just want to keep on smelling it.
For the Illustration of No.12 I tried to bring out the layered, natural tones of the perfume and do justice to its classic nature. Since I really think with the creation of No.12 Nathalie has reinvented the magic of vintage perfumery.”
This Photo-story would not be complete without a beautiful self portrait of Marleen and some pictures Jan Ewoud has taken of her over the past 10 years. (And if you are interested in a portrait by Marleen yourself, you can directly contact her at portraits@marleenm.com – she can work from a photo).
