Marin Vaan Zaal is an American visual artist and designer who was born in 1991 and is originally from Boston, Massachusetts. While the artist professionally uses the name Marin Vaan Zaal, specific biographical records indicate the real name associated with this creative identity is Marin Van Zaal. Growing up in a household without siblings, the artist spent a significant amount of time engaged in drawing and coloring to navigate various imaginative worlds. This early dedication to creative expression led to formal training at the VCU School of the Arts in Richmond, though the artist eventually transitioned into an entrepreneurial approach to visual arts that bridges the gap between raw creativity and business.

The artist’s body of work is heavily rooted in modern minimalism, focusing on the intricate relationships between color, texture, and form. By utilizing limited palettes, the artist explores both natural and inorganic shapes to create harmonious compositions that aim to capture fleeting moments of visual sublimity. Major influences on this style include cubism and mid-century modernism, along with the atmospheric studies of light found in the works of Claude Monet. The creative process is often described as intuitive and vivid, beginning as an experiment where lines and shapes are corrected in real time to achieve balance. In 2025 and 2026, the artist has continued to produce new series such as Homes and various hard-edge acrylic paintings on panel, maintaining a commitment to distilling art down to its most essential elements.
