Marlise Breye (°1998) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Kortrijk, Belgium. Born and raised in the same city, her work is deeply rooted in a lifelong fascination with the natural world. Her childhood curiosity evolved into a passion for science and astronomy, disciplines that continue to inform her artistic practice. In 2024, Marlise graduated with a master's degree in Fine Arts from LUCA School of Arts, where she earned the jury prize for her graduation project - a poetic exploration of clouds and their ephemeral nature.
Driven by humanity's timeless quest to understand its place in the cosmos, Marlise's artistic practice emerges the rigor of scientific inquiry with a sense of poetic wonder. Self-proclaimed a "pseudoscientist" she takes a research-based approach, designing experiments that isolate and recontextualize natural phenomena. Her installations create stark, minimalist environments that encourage intimate encounters between viewers and the physical world, rekindling a sense of awe for the universe's mysteries.
Her work invites reflection on the relationship between knowledge and wonder, challenging the ways scientific systems shape our perception of the world. To what extent does the pursuit of understanding obscure the beauty of the unknown? Through her practice, Marlise seeks to encapsulate the imperturbable forces of nature while questioning humanity's attempts to categorize and control them.
