Born in the Netherlands, Marnix Hoogendoorn grew up in a polder, within a loving family, far away from the turpitudes of modern society. His childhood paradise came to an end when he couldn't avoid the «the adult world» any longer. He got lost, made wrong decisions and quickly felt the desire to leave everything behind. He started to travel the world.

When the money ran out he came back and isolated himself in a solitary introspection, where art seemed to be his only comfort.

While literature and music provoked "emotional highs", he found his true

« raison d'être » in painting.

Later, Marnix moved to Paris and led a busy family life, worked in a multinational during daytime and painted during the nights.

 After a sabbatical year in 2020, he devoted himself fully to painting.

« It is in painting that I found answers to questions that were always present but that I could never identify ».

He now lives with his wife and their three children in the French countryside on the edge of the forest.
