马里克•鲍威尔斯，视觉艺术硕士，现任比利时哈瑟尔特大学PXL艺术学院陶艺系主任，最近开始在该大学攻读博士学位。
1989年起，鲍威尔斯在国内外举办展览，通过探索诸如秩序与混乱、空虚与形式或物质与能量等主题来检验其惯用的表现媒介。这些主题受到东方文化对待事物不断改变的方式的启发。鲍威尔斯获得了许多令人梦寐以求的国际奖项。曾在奥地利、中国、德国、日本、荷兰和英国任特邀发言人发表演讲，分享其对陶瓷在当代艺术中的角色和未来的看法。在日本、荷兰和中国的驻场经历不断为她的创作提供灵感。鲍威尔斯在艺术教育领域执教近三十年，业内已发表了许多与其作品有关的文章。
Marieke Pauwels is Master of Visual Arts and currently Head of Department of Ceramics at the PXL-MAD School of Arts in Hasselt. She recently started PHD research at the same institute & UHasselt. Since 1989 Pauwels has run exhibitions at home and abroad, testing the conventions of her medium by exploring themes such as order and chaos, emptiness and form or matter and energy. The way these themes are broached is often inspired by a very oriental concern with the perpetual shifts in our dealings with matter. She has won a number of coveted international awards. A welcome guest speaker on the role and the future of Ceramics in Contemporary Art, she has lectured in Austria, China, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and the UK. Residencies in Japan, the Netherlands and China continue to inspire her work. Pauwels has worked for nearly three decades as a teacher in Art Education. A number of articles on her work have been published.
