Marissa Oosterlee’s journey from an aspiring semi-professional cyclist to a renowned hyperrealistic painter is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit. Her works, particularly the series “Washing Away My Sorrows”, showcase her exceptional ability to capture the essence of her subjects with remarkable precision and emotional depth. The series features women half-submerged in water, a setting that Oosterlee uses to explore themes of purity, clarity, and tranquility.
Through her art, she invites viewers to contemplate moments of introspection and the cleansing power of water. Oosterlee’s transition to art after a life-altering accident reveals a profound narrative of transformation and rebirth, echoing the very themes that permeate her paintings.
