While studying at the Amsterdam School of Arts, Marga van Oers saw a need for unique, accessible art. Her vision for Storytiles truly solidified with a gift from her grandmother: a box of centuries-old Dutch Delftware. These antique tiles, with their charming cracks and storied pasts, became the perfect canvas for her own narrative art.
Marga breathes new life into historic ceramics, creating small tiles that tell a story. While her work is often positive, her most poignant pieces carry deep personal meaning. The ‘Forever’ tile was born from the loss of her mother, depicting a bird looking at a golden star. The design holds a specific meaning for her, yet offers universal comfort and interpretation.
Today, Marga creates from her new farmhouse studio, balancing her growing business with family life. Each Storytile remains a miniature world blending history, imagination, and heartfelt emotion. It is this ability to capture entire stories within a single, beautiful object that makes her work so incredibly special and cherished.
