“I am madly fascinated with life. Isn’t it just so strange and breathtaking? I feel like an outsider observing a peculiar world. I feel like an alien who has stumbled across a foreign place. The intense vibrancy of colours, scents, movements, sounds and tastes in each day. The beauty of nature, with its flourishing plants, spectacular living creatures and changing seasons. The way that us humans live, the houses we live in and decorate, the art we make, the struggles we endure. And I am here… immersed in it! I am in utter awe of it all.”
Welcome to the artistic work of Marie Attfield, a poet whose words and photography celebrate life with a heart fully awake.
Through poetry and slow videography of daily life, such as animals, flowers, trees, mountains, ancient architecture, and nourishing food, Marie invites viewers into a space of intentional stillness, drawing awareness both outward to the beauty of everyday life, and inward to their own inner light.
Seen through a lens of deep sensitivity, her art explores what becomes visible when we pause long enough to truly notice: the extraordinary beauty of the present moment, and the quiet grace of the human journey.
Marie uniquely merges a deep, lived insight into the psychology of the mind with traditional contemplative philosophies and raw visual storytelling. Inspired by the quiet rhythms of the natural world, she creates art that serves as a gentle invitation to slow down, honour our inner light, and rest in the beauty of the present moment.
