With Marenthe, the impossible is just a starting point.

Marenthe Otten by Floris Leeuwenberg 006.jpg

Art that Speaks. Design that Resonates.

Marenthe’s work is alive—bold, fresh, and impossible to ignore. Her visuals don’t just sit pretty; they spark something. A feeling. A reaction. A deep, knowing yes.

She takes her craft seriously, but let’s be real—creativity should be fun. A dash of playful rebellion, a wink of wit—she weaves it all in, making her art effortlessly magnetic and wildly relatable.

Her process? Alchemy. A fusion of old-school craftsmanship and cutting-edge digital magic. She bends typography to her will, layering meaning into every pixel and brushstroke.

Concept, illustration, art direction—whatever you need, she’s on it. Marenthe doesn’t just hear your brief; she feels it. Reads between the lines. Finds the gold.

Marenthe’s art work is layered and full of meaning; it can really complete content, making it beautiful, inspirational and attractive. Her art work is distinctive and yet speaks a universal language: the one that goes straight to the heart."

    Eveline Helmink - Happinez

  • "For us, Marenthe is a bit like the Dutch Keri Smith."
