Marijke Van der Veen primarily works in soapstone sculpting simple, stylised forms, rather than being concerned with figurative accuracy. She told LSA, "I mostly aim to convey an emotional state, a mood or a state of being".   Her recent works have been influenced by the emotions and realities of the pandemic and explore mortality, the passage from life to death and the importance of remembrance.
