Marianne Cats

Curaçao is her home base now, but Marianne Cats was actually born in Bali (Indonesia) with a Dutch nationality.

She grew up in many countries throughout Asia, East Africa and South America. While residing in Brazil, Ecuador and Africa from 1980 until 1984, her interest in art developed, and she started to draw and paint. After attending workshops and art courses in sculpting and painting, she had her first exhibitions in Guayaquil and Quito (both in Ecuador).

She moved to Curaçao in 1985 and was immediately impressed by the beauty of the island’s colors and by the architecture of the old buildings.

Being an architect herself, she and her husband established an architectural office where they not only design modern buildings but also specialize in restorations of historical buildings, such as old city buildings and plantation homes.

Kall-Bass By Aldemar Lourens Art GAllery

Inspired by the nature

If you’re seeking a unique souvenir to take home, don’t miss a visit to the Aldemar Lourens Art Gallery. Among the stunning paintings, you’ll discover beautiful creations crafted from calabash, a fruit native to Africa that flourishes here in Curacao. Crafted with care, Aldemar celebrates the fruit’s authentic character by painting only its interior, preserving its natural color and texture. We promise you’ll be amazed by the splendid plant pots, lamps, and Caribbean- inspired structures, each embodying authenticity and love for the island.

Meet Merly Trappenberg

​My main element of inspiration are women, with their customs, habits and distractions. Sometimes represented alone or in a group in front of scenery,like a stage. I usually tend to paint strong,voluminous, well-proportioned African-Caribbean women.

For me volume has the meaning of abundance, love and joy. With my paintings I want to expose my island to the world for what it is, a place of celebration with its beautiful architecture, color, joy and optimism.
