Marie Cecile Thijs

Portraits of people, animals, flowers and food, all bearing the unmistakable signature of the Dutch photographer Marie Cecile Thijs. Stillness is key. Her work shows influences reminiscent of old masters in painting, while at the same time her personal interpretation is purely contemporary. She plays with her subjects, bringing them to life or freezing them in time and space. Objects become characters. This results in intriguing creations, where tranquility, motion and sometimes also humor measures.
