Kunst die werkt: hoe Marieke Vandemoortel het perfecte schilderij vond voor haar kantoor.

Art that works: how Marieke Vandemoortel found the perfect painting for her office.

Choosing a painting for your interior is not an everyday decision. It has to be right — in color, in style, in feeling. For Marieke Vandemoortel, a passionate entrepreneur, that balance was crucial when designing her office space. Because when you work in a space every day, you want to be surrounded by peace, inspiration and beauty.

A quest for more than just decoration

When Marieke went looking for a painting, she knew mainly what she didn't want: something that just looks nice on the wall without really meaning anything. She was looking for a work of art that matched her own story and the atmosphere of her office — a place where she receives clients, but also wants to relax herself.

Through The Garden of the Arts she discovered a completely different approach: not starting from the name of the artist, but from the soul of the painting. What do you feel? What does it bring into a space?

The power of the art test and personal guidance

To help her in her search, Marieke took the art test from De Tuin Der Kunsten — a short, intuitive questionnaire that helps translate your taste and preferences into a selection of paintings that suit you. This immediately showed her a number of options that really appealed to her.

This was followed by personal guidance . Together we looked at the possibilities and how each work would fit within her office design.

“The painting is just right”

The result? A painting that is just right . “It fits who I am and my workplace in terms of color, atmosphere and energy,” says Marieke in the video in which she shares her experience.

She did not just choose any work of art, but one that inspires her every day and gives her the right energy in her workplace.

Art that remains affordable and personal

At De Tuin Der Kunsten we believe that art deserves a place not only in museums or galleries, but also in people's homes — or offices. That's why we deliberately keep our collection affordable, with works starting at a few hundred euros and never more expensive than €2495.

Because real art doesn't have to be unattainable. It just has to be right. In your interior. And in your heart.
