Description from the seller
"Girl with Pearl" is a beautiful print on high-quality Hahemuhle Photo Rag. The size is 30x40 and it has a small white border. It is the fourth edition of 12 copies.
Ursula van de Bunte is a versatile photographer who moves between portrait, still life, and nude photography. Her visual language remains unconventional and recognizable through the subtle use of light that evokes the masters of the seventeenth century. Her photos are contemporary and stylized, with a classical undertone and a touch of nostalgia. Ursula pursues quality and works with the latest Hasselblad. The studio is located in a monumental building in the Hanseatic city of Kampen.
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.”
