Marianne Ottes

Marianne de Leeuw-Ottes is a Dutch artist who paints from quiet strength and deep emotion. After art school, life pulled her in another direction. She spent years working in the interior business while her own art stayed silent in the background.

Picking up the brush again brought something back to life. Her paintings often feature animals like tigers and birds: symbols of instinct, resilience, and inner presence. With fine, delicate brushstrokes and strong contrasts, she creates work that speaks to those who keep going, with heart.

Milan, Barcelona, Paris, New York — Marianne’s creations leave quiet traces in galleries and glossy pages such as: Women’s Essence, MUSA International, The Best Contemporary Masters 2024.
