Description from the seller

"Time to Fly" is a print on high-quality Hahenemuhle Baryta paper. The size is 20,5x20,5 and the photo has a small white border. This is the first print of 25 copies.

Ursula van de Bunte is a versatile photographer who moves at the intersection of portrait, still life and nude. Her signature is unmistakable: a refined and subtle use of light that echoes the seventeenth-century masters. In her work, contemporary aesthetics and classical visual language merge into tranquil, carefully composed images with a timeless allure and a hint of nostalgia.
She works with the latest Hasselblad equipment and creates her photography from a studio housed in a monumental building in the Hanseatic town of Kampen. Her work is presented in museums, galleries and at art fairs.

Seller's Story

Passionate, sensitive and with an eye for detail, light and color, would be a nice description of Ursula's approach. She is perfectionistic, enthusiastic and diligent; she will only be satisfied when the well-known WOW factor has been achieved. With her artworks she aims to bring her subjects forward in the purest possible way. Ursula transforms objects into powerful still lifes and the portraits are a reflection of a bygone era, where from time to time a splash of modern life is incorporated. Her work is unconventional and the use of light leans toward her sources of inspiration: the paintings of Jacques-Louis David, Rembrandt and Caravaggio. As a photographer Ursula also seeks to distinguish herself through diversity in her work, and beside individual creations she makes series, where multiple images tell one story. She is notably discovered with her intriguing, still lifes: the series Plastic Vegetables and the series House-4-Sale. These works have been awarded with various prizes, among them for the series “de 100 van Rooyackers.” Exhibitions: 2025 Academiehuis Zwolle 2024 Stedelijk museum Kampen 2023 ANNO museum Zwolle 2019 Fundatie Zwolle 2019 WG Kunst Amsterdam 2017 Loods 6 Amsterdam 2016 van Abbemuseum Publications: Stentor-Haarlems Dagblad, HP de Tijd, GUP New Dutch Photography Awards incl., 2017 Public Prize Photographic Design 2015 PIA d’or Award second prize Portrait 2021 Fine Art Photography Awards Portrait
