About Me

I am a Dutch artist, I draw and paint, and work three nights a week in a bar to pay for it. I'm aloof, I'm singular, I'm a lonely wolf, and my greatest dream would be to spend my days atop a mountain with a snowboard and a canvas, and do nothing but draw, paint, snowboard and read books. And play around on the internet in between.For those of you who are curious: you can see my work in the pictures I uploaded here, or on my website; http://www.marijebijl.nl..

My Interests

Art, snow, philosophy, politics, religion

I'd like to meet:

Fellow thinkers and storytellers

Music:

I have my phases. Right now, I am heavily into ambient/ experimental sounds: play Arovane, Monolake, Julien Neto often in my studio. But love a lot of other things too, and have my Ipod filled with anything from The Brooklyn Funk essentials to Janacek, from Pergolesi to Philip Glass, from Garbage to Pink Floyd. I guess the only thing I do not like is hardcore, be it hardcore techno or hardcore metal. I guess I aint hardcore enough for it.

Movies:

Magnolia, I am not afraid, Arizona Dream, Exotica, Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, In the mood for love, 2046, strictly ballroom... in short: arthouse

Television:

Rarely, if ever. Unless Voyager is on, or CSI (the original) or house, or an interesting documentary I'd like to watch, or if (Dutch) politics have been so infismally stupid again I feel obliged to watch the news

Books:

Keri Hulme: Kerewin Meir Shalev: anything by him, but particularely The loves of Judith TH White: The once and future king Susan Sontag: Against interpretation and lots of other books that look pretty snobbish on the couch in the living room but I haven't read yet.

Heroes:

Ghandi Martin Luther King Basquiat Jamie Lynn Craig Kelly Jonaven Moore Bernard Heisig Daniel Richter
