The quote "Beauty is functional" relates to the importance of art which to my mind goes much further than mere decoration. It is what gives us the energy to continue when times are difficult, it gives us purpose, it gives us life.
Now a bit about me, Marjoline Delahaye. After a life of combining art as a separate hobby to an IT career, I now combine all I know in both fields of art and IT to mix and bring out the best of both in my digital art collages and digital sketching and painting.
How did this all come about? After a long focus on IT for my income whilst raising my family, I started painting in the realistic style again in 1991. After some time I became more interested in displaying core shared emotions and branched out into abstract work, encouraged by the reactions from the public at the exhibition in France where I showed a series of 8 large abstract works. It was so interesting that those grieving for a parent, those hurting from the loss of their lifelong job, and those frightened by the loss of Amazon jungle all saw their feelings represented by the same, single abstract work of art.
For a number of years I extended my work into the realm of film and digital effects, following many different courses to make this possible. This culminated in the current works which you see here, which are a mix of sketching, digital effects and digital painting of subjects related to human passions, such as dancing, cars, sports, biking, photography, nature and the little things in life.
An advantage of this digital way of working is that it can ultimately be used on many different substrates, including brushed aluminium, acrylic, wood and canvas panels.
In the course of time I have lived in The Netherlands, Australia, South Africa, Canada and France, before returning to live permanently in The Netherlands. Undoubtedly this has all left impressions and contributes to the style of universally recognisable and shared emotions.
Aside from the arts, my graphic design work has also been utilised for different purposes, such as the Commons, Beatstad Radio, DiEM25, Fiat 500 Club, Autism Society, Universal Basic Income, multiple different websites, etc.
I am happy that you have found your way to my page, and thank you for your interest in my work.

(Art gallery, Netherlands)Should you be in The Hague, Holland, this weekend, do come and visit me at the Art & Antiques Fair in the Lange Voorhout, The Hague. I will be close to the old American Embassy.
It would be lovely to meet up in person!
The Making of the Mauritshuis (digital design)
Showing the setting up of the exhibition.
That meant seeing our city of The Hague in its quietest moments and seeing more sharply the treasures, architectural as well as artistically. They are many and varied, and I have decided to make it my major project of 2022 to create digital versions to share with the world.
Check out my little The Hague gallery, where I have already posted:
- The Houses of Parliament, in the blue version of which the sharp eye may perceive a compass in the light of the moon; in the green version it shows its more sinister side;
- The Mauritshuis, where you will see one of it's most famous inhabitants, The Girl with the Pearl Earring;
- The International Court of Justice, known as the Peace Palace, where the dove of peace resides;
- The Royal Theatre of The Hague, where the sharp observer will perhaps spot the spirits of the most famous playwrights of England and The Netherlands.
Check it out! Here is the link to my The Hague Gallery
Recently we started up a new gallery, the Car Art Gallery. This is where Artmajeur contributors can join us to show the many beautiful artworks of cars which are available for all to enjoy on Artmajeur.
So if you are - like us - madly passionate about cars, drop us a note and join us!
3 panels designed for a new Coffee Shop in The Hague, Holland. Versions of these can also be acquired in larger sizes on Artmajeur.
I am very happy to be able to be able to announce completion of my first 10 digital artworks for the Artmajeur site. I am branching out into this specialisation after moving from painting, spraypainting, video production, tshirts and commissioned private digital portraits to digital artworks.
These digital artworks are a mixture of photography by myself and by others, mixed digital techniques, digital painting and collage and all of these yield the emotion that energizes the arwork. The other photographers making their work freely available I introduce and thank on my website.
Please visit my Armajeur page, I hope you enjoy what you see!
