Where to View Marie Cécile Thijs's Photography on Her Website
Updated
Marie Cécile Thijs's photography is viewable directly at mariececilethijs.com, the official site of Studio Marie Cecile Thijs. The site functions as a portfolio and gallery: the homepage is the main entry point for browsing her work, which is organized around her signature subjects — people, animals, flowers, and food. If you want to see her images rather than read about her, start on the homepage and move through the work sections from there.
What the site is for
Studio Marie Cecile Thijs is a presentation site for the artist's own work, not a shop or a booking platform. Its stated purpose is to bring visitors into "the magnificent and surreal world of Marie Cécile Thijs," described as a poetic atmosphere of tranquillity in which stillness is key. That framing tells you what to expect: quiet, carefully composed images rather than a fast-moving commercial catalog.
The site is published in English.
Where to start
The homepage is the natural first stop. It carries the site's headline identity — "Marie Cecile Thijs" — and a short statement of what her work covers:
- Portraits of people
- Animals
- Flowers
- Food
Each of these is a distinct subject area within her practice, and all of them carry what the site calls her "specific signature." If you already know which subject interests you, look for the corresponding section of the site; if you don't, the homepage gives you the overview before you drill in.
What the homepage highlights
One item worth noticing on the homepage is the ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2024 designation. It sits alongside the main presentation of her work and signals current recognition rather than a historical retrospective.
The homepage also lists where her work is held in public collections:
| Collection | Location |
|---|---|
| Rijksmuseum | Amsterdam |
| Lisser Museum LAM | (Netherlands) |
| Museum Rotterdam | Rotterdam |
| Museum of Photographic Arts | San Diego |
| Virginia Museum of Fine Arts | Richmond |
| National Museum of History and Art | Luxembourg |
This matters if you're trying to place her work in a museum context or verify its standing — the site itself is the source for these holdings, so you can treat the homepage as the reference point.
Practical notes
- No pricing or purchase information is indicated on the site as described. Don't assume prints are for sale or that browsing requires an account — neither is stated.
- No login is mentioned. The work is presented for viewing.
- If you're looking for a specific series, use the subject categories (people, animals, flowers, food) as your navigation logic rather than expecting a dated archive.
- For collection or exhibition context, the homepage's collection list is the most concrete information the site provides.
The short answer
Go to mariececilethijs.com and begin on the homepage. From there, browse by subject — people, animals, flowers, or food — to see the work itself. The homepage is also where you'll find her 2024 artist recognition and the list of museums holding her photographs.
