Marie Cecile Thijs

Marie Cecile Thijs is a photographer known for capturing portraits of people, animals, flowers, and food, each having her unique style. The essence of Marie Cecile's work lies in stillness, which is inspired by the Old Masters of the 17th century.
Her photography is a convergence of unexpected life and frozen moments, turning objects into characters with new personalities. In the lens of Marie Cecile Thijs, stillness, motion, and occasional humour converge to result in a surrealist imagery that is both intimate and direct.

The duality in her works, navigating between old and new, light and dark, intimacy and distancing, defines the distinctive artistry of Marie Cecile Thijs. Specialised in staged photography, Marie Cecile greatly shines a nuanced light on any Artbox brief.
