When I first discovered the work of Dutch photographer Desiree Dolron, I couldn’t tell if it’s photography or paintwork. The contemporary artist’s aesthetic takes its roots from the Flemish school of portrait painters – Rogier van der Weyden, Petrus Christus and Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershoi, but it’s actually a mix of photography and state-of-art digital technology. Desiree Dolron adapts old paintings aesthetics according to her genius 21st century vision – as complex in construction as the panting itself.
Desiree Dolron’s versatile genius produced projects like “Exhaltation” (religious rituals in the Far East), “I Give You All My Dreams” (photo collection describing the real Cuba) and “Gaze” (portraits taken under water).
