biography of Marcus Martinus Maria 'Marc' Mulders

The paintings by Marc Mulders are like a garden: colorful and beneficial, with soft and light tones that predominate. He paints in daylight, in an open stable, standing on the threshold between the darkness inside and the flower fields outside around his studio. In early work in the 1980s, dark colors predominate and he painted religious motifs such as the Pieta and the Last Supper, and still lifes of dead game, fish and flowers. Marc Mulders is attracted to abstraction, but he needs the materiality of animals and flowers to be able to paint. An important turning point in his work is the move from Tilburg to a farm on the Baest estate in 2008. The garden and the wildflower fields surrounding his studio become the central motif of his oeuvre. Mulders paints what the season offers him and finds inspiration in the beauty of the cycle of life and death in nature. His palette gradually becomes lighter and the flower fields inspire him to create a more abstract representation of the flowers, in which the interaction between flower fields and sunlight comes to the fore. With his work he shares with the viewer his emotions, his joy with paint and colour, plants and animals and light. About, as he puts it, 'dawn and evening dawn, the mystical light of the dew and the spiritually mystical light of the setting sun.' Mulders is also active as a glazier. His stained glass windows can be found in, among others, St. John's Cathedral in Den Bosch and the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam. The glass in the Nieuwe Kerk was presented as a national gift to Queen Beatrix in 2005 and was a sensation in terms of form, content and symbolism.
