“Since 2018 I started working on this project. In a world where
Photoshop creates the stereotype of perfect and flawless images,
I decided to row against the stream and do just the opposite as a
photographer.
By deciding not to retouch my images and not to use make-up for
my models, only using natural light in the studio. I created a safe
environment for my protagonists, initiating a process of removing all
masks. In this series I prefer working predominantly with women and
I try, through art, to facilitate the experience for self-discovery and
acceptance.
My aim is to capture raw and unaltered emotions and to present a
story of love, joy, but also of pain, suffering and abandonment.
Inspired by the great Flemish Old masters and the Pre-Raphaelite
movement, I want to show real human beings with all their natural
fragility and beauty of the soul
