Marlou Fernanda, waar ga ik heen? (2025) Denise Janzée, 53 min
Multidisciplinary artist Marlou Fernanda is searching for meaning, creativity, and spirituality. For years, the Rotterdam-based artist has stood out for her visual work, which focuses on themes such as loneliness, racial inequality, and life's big questions. Known for her colorful works featuring portraits of her own face, her style is increasingly shifting toward abstract forms.
Documentary maker Denise Janzée follows her in her studio and during an assignment in New York, where her quest takes shape. Marlou speaks candidly about her parents' divorce and the muscle disease that affects her mother's ability to speak. Her experiences drive her to interweave language, emotion, and art. Determined, vulnerable, and always on the move, she shows how personal experiences transform into new and sparkling art.
