Biography
Charlotte Mariën is a photographer based in Leuven, Belgium. After graduating in communication sciences, she immersed herself in photography at LUCA School of Arts, Narafi, Vorst. Her work has been shown in various exhibitions, including in Musée de la Photographie, Charleroi.
Challenging reality is a central theme in her work. She uses photography as a medium to turn her vivid ideas into a sharable story. She aims to revaluate imagination and a receptiveness to the other, the strange. This same attitude she considers invaluable in life, in order to challenge entrenched conceptions.
