Well, well, well. What do we have here? Bright colours. Check. Bucket loads of talent. Check. Beautiful designs. Check. Mariska Meijers' colourful still life paintings. Check! Working out of Amsterdam, Mariska likes to think of her works as anti-minimalism. (She only needed to utter those words and I was on side in an instant!) I adore the uplifting hues and striking use of pattern in her paintings, some of which are featured below. Her online store also stocks stationary, cushions and greetings cards. Plus, you can commission Mariska to draw or paint a portrait of your own interior. Basically, she's one super talented lady.
