Anyone who thinks that artists all come from Paris or New York is wrong. Talented painters, sculptors and photographers also live in Zoetermeer. We list five of them.
Marja Milo – Visual artist
Visual artist Marja Milo makes all kinds of art. From portraits and abstract paintings to three-dimensional works of art. Milo studied at the Royal Academy in The Hague. She draws inspiration from self-examination, with her own thoughts and feelings as a starting point. In 2020, Marja made a work of art for the project ‘Tough heroes in Corona time’, which was part of appreciation for Zoetermeer residents who have committed themselves to the community during corona time. Here you will find more information about Marja Milo.
