You Me and Our World

– Eyes –

In this series, eyes are central to me, as they are the mirror of the soul, as people often say. For me a first meeting starts with looking into someone’s eyes. What color do I see, what is the shape and what feeling does it express to me? What a difference! In this photo art a number of important aspects come together for me.

• I’ve had a fascination for eyes, for a long time. I used to draw papers full of them..
• Traveling around the world, immersing yourself in other worlds, with beautiful architecture and landscapes. You marvel at so much beauty and then “take it with you” by              grabbing my CANON camera and a simple click.
• The writer Hubert Lampoo, takes me along with his books such as The advent of Joachim Stiller in his magically realistic stories. They give me a journey through my own          shows.
• The work of etcher Escher, especially his black-and-white work of non-existent perspectives, different forms that merge seamlessly, what creativity and craftsmanship.
• But perhaps in the first place the work of artist Salvador Dali. For decades an inspiration to me, surrealistic representations of the world, anything is possible!

By linking all these aspects together, I want to take you through my magical landscapes in this series, view them through my eyes and create your own stories! If you are interested in one of these images, or if you want to purchase a magical landscape made in your eye, please contact me by telephone on 00316 14740889 or by email info@astridufkes.nl

Lots of ‘travel’ pleasure.
