misty tree 1 Photograph

I was born in 1969. I studied graphic design at the Willem de Kooning Academy of Arts in Rotterdam. I live and work in the Randstad as well in the centre of the Netherlands. As a photographer I work both on commission and as an autonomous artist. In my autonomous work I mostly work from my personal emotions and experiences.  I try to express concepts like Estrangement, loneliness, desolation and mystery. These are, to a greater or lesser extent,  recognizable for all human beings. By striving towards mutual recognition through my work I hope to offer and find solace and understanding. In my photo work, printing my own work on fine art paper is an important part of the process. Since 2014 I am associated with 'Stroom', a centre for art and architecture in The Hague. In 2015 I became a member of the artist societies 'Pulchri' and 'De Haagse Kunstkring', also based in The Hague.  Works are exhibited in Dutch musea and galleries and in several countries: Italie (Vicenza), England (London), France (Excedeuil), Portugal (Lissabon), Tiradentes (Brazil). In 2023 I participated at the Architecture biennale in Venice. Award-winning and included in both private and corporate collections info@jacobiendekorte.com 31(0)6 24246494
