LA VIE EN ROSE

Hi, I'm Marieke, Amsterdam based artist, writer and DJ. Through my work, I create spaces of hope, comfort and joie de vivre. With music, words and imagery I share a multi-layered story about grief, life, and living la vie en rose.


A heartbreaking grief catapulted me into the depths of my being and the magical world of the invisible. Everyday, I’m in pursuit of magic and evidence of the immortality of the soul.

Dreams, imagination and inspiration are my life savers. Below video (sound on) takes you into that . XM

DJ / Speaker / Writer

La Vie en Rose is a bundle of love, insights, wisdom, quotes on life, death, loss and eternity. Not knowing how to handle my life, myself, my sweet family, family and friends and the future after the loss of our oldest daughter, I turned to other’s people wisdom and experiences, on- and offline. What I found struck me as very heavy hearted, bleak and gloomy. But it was all very heavy to deal with. Heavy I had. What I was searching for was hope, love, connection, comfort and solace.

Is there more between heaven and earth? La Vie en Rose is all about finding evidence of the immortality of the soul. To keep our loved ones close and understand our magnificent role in this thing called life.

Reviews La Vie en Rose

‘Wow, you’re good at life!’

‘This book is at my bedside table, I can pick it up whenever I need it. The quotes and imagery comfort me every time.’

‘The fact alone that I have it at home gives me strength.’

‘In the hospice, it was the last book she read. It was so comforting to her, it gave her peace of mind.’

DJ

When I'm not writing, I am curating tunes and tracks for mesmerizing and dancing. The combination of the two make up my portfolio as a DJ. I do dance parties and I offer tracks to take you higher and find comfort.
