f everyday things这些事物似乎只是与他人擦肩而过
Things that seemed to pass others by
对我来说却成了一生的迷恋
But for me it became a lifelong fascination

看来，花卉是大自然的瑰宝，长期以来一直是他设计中反复出现的灵感源泉：粗犷的郁金香、雕塑般的玫瑰、娇艳的百合。有时，

用平面设计来诠释这些花卉；有时，则将它们融入更具艺术性的设计中。吸引

的并不是对“真实”世界的模仿。
Maarten Vrolijk
追求的是新鲜的形象，在那里，魅力变成了看得见的东西，设计在已有的基础上增加了更多的价值。
To Maarten Vrolijk mind, flowers are nature's gems and have long been a recurrent inspiration in his designs: the bold tulip, the sculpted rose, the delicate lily. On occasions, Maarten Vrolijk have interpreted these in graphic designs; at other times, they have found their way into more artistic designs. What grips Maarten Vrolijk is not so much imitation of the "'real'" world. Maarten Vrolijk on a quest for the fresh image, the place where fascination becomes something visible and the design gains more worth from adding something to what already exists.
Maarten Vrolijk
认为，艺术应该通过许多唤起意想不到的小细节使人们的日常生活变得更加美好。虽然受到自然世界的强烈影响，但Vrolijk并不是在追求对“真实”世界的模仿，而是在探索简单、明确、经常被忽视的方面：颜色、形式、精致、强度、透明度、短暂性，这些方面为我们在体验周围世界时提供了一幅迷人的地图。
Maarten Vrolijk believes that art should make people’s everyday lives more beautiful through the many little details that evoke the unexpected. While strongly influenced by the natural world, Vrolijk is not on a quest to expose an imitation of the“real” world, but rather, is on an exploration of the simple, unequivocal, and often overlooked aspects: color, form, delicacy, strength, transparency, ephemerality, that provide a map to the fascinations we gravitate to when experiencing the world around us.
Vrolijk最著名的作品可能是玻璃器皿，它们的玻璃碎片都是彩色的。他的玻璃花瓶在制作过程中厚度不稳定，在坚固和精致之间形成了一种危险的平衡。当试图平衡冷却容器的内部和外部温度时，产生的热应力充满了破裂的倾向。Vrolijk的玻璃作品的成功之处在于其水晶般的清晰度，而不是其实质性的物理影响。他那夸张的陶瓷器皿作为艺术品，具有鲜明的生命力。
Vrolijk is perhaps best known for glass vessels with their outgrowth of colored glass fragments. The volatility in accomplishing the exceptional thickness of his glass vases creates a risky balance between strength and delicacy. The thermal stress caused when trying to equalize the interior and exterior temperature of the cooling vessels, is fraught with the propensity for breakage. The success of Vrolijk’s glass pieces lie in the crystalline clarity posed against their substantial physical impact. His exaggerated ceramic vessels have vivid vitality as works of art.
