Marieke (Rikki) Tollenaere

The beauty of the natural world is my inspiration.
I specialize in original seascapes and abstract paintings. Two
very different styles, with the common element to portray the
colours, rhythms, and structures you find both on the sea and land.

My studio, nestled in the Tramuntana mountains of Mallorca, is open to visitors. get in touch for an appointment, as I might be outside in nature, getting some inspiration...

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Barbara Davidson

I was following Rikkis facebook account for quite a while.
Grown up at the baltic beaches and sailor since I can walk, I was so fascinated about the paintings she is creating. Every painting, every landscape, every wave is an expression of her deep connection and love to the sea which is catching the viewer quite immediately.
Therefore it was only a matter of time until I fell in love with one of her paintings as it also reminded me very much to my home island. Thus I just ordered it.
Rikki was very friendly and helpful supporting the entire time and the painting arrived proper packed and protected against any possible damage.
Even a wonderful wooden framing was included and now the painting is placed at the bulkhead of my boats salon giving me joy everytime I am sitting there with a cup of tea in my hand.
Thank you Rikki !

Having spent most of my life living on islands, the sea was always a fascination. I could happily sit for hours looking at it, admiring is beauty, it’s strength and the way it is constantly changing. I first met Rikki in 2018 and was invited to visit her studio where I was stunned by her seascapes and her #making100Waves project. When buying a new home in 2019 we really wanted a painting which captured our love of the sea and we didn’t hesitate to commission Rikki. We spent some time working with Rikki to agree the design and size and get her advice. We got regular updates from Rikki and then in spring 2019 she presented us with the finished work. Rikki captured a beautiful moment in a constantly changing seascape. It is stunning and it sits in pride of place in our living room. Nice one Rikki !

Monochrome blue painting with structure made with a mixture of pure pigment and a binding agent. I find my inspiration from nature and love all the patterns we can find anywhere. This painting would be  great in a ultra modern home, even though it has a minimalist feeling to it, this Blue colour is so bright it will make a bold statement. Combine it with Orange which is in the same collection on monochrome artworks.
