“Then I see Saskia Boelsums’ landscape photos on display.
A shiver of pleasure runs through me.”

“Boelsums works transcends photography. They are not so much photographs, they are works of art that also refer to painters. That combination is magical. It is as if she uses photography to paint. Look at the photos. The way she plays with color. Is it a drawing? Is it graphic art? Sense the impressionistic feeling, the artistic quality. All this makes it a fantastic work to add to our collection.”
Annemiek Rens MA, Chief Curator of the Drents Museum, the Netherlands
