Born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in 1962, Marian Williams lives and works in France.
Since 2010, her work has been on show in France, England, Italy, the Netherlands, Albania, Serbia and in the USA.
In the eclectic work of Marian Williams, pop art meets dada, surrealism and renaissance art.
The artist uses found objects, authentic photos and original illustrations from vintage magazines and books to create dynamic, striking compositions in paint, collage and assemblage.
Her political engagement for the environment, women's rights, freedom and social justice, are recurring themes.
"When I was five years old I jumped in a bin at school to save schoolbooks from the 1950's which had been thrown away.
Everything about these books was precious to me; the images, the letter type, the torn pages, the colours and the memories.
They reflected the history of daily life gone by.
They were art to me."
