One Hundred and Sixth Collection

Inspired by Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, I wanted to reimagine her in today’s world—one filled with chaos, division, and unrest. How would she feel? What would she say?

I chose to let her cry, not just from sorrow but frustration. Her hidden middle fingers are a quiet act of rebellion—not a scream, but a whisper of defiance. She symbolizes those trapped in cycles of powerlessness, watching the world burn while feeling unheard.

The soft light and classical clothing honor Vermeer and the Old Masters, but her raw emotion and silent protest pull her into the present. This piece reflects my own frustrations, my own tears, and my belief that art can give a voice to what words cannot. Even in stillness, resistance is powerful.

I ask myself: Was the past truly better, or have we been carrying the same burdens for centuries? If so, what must change? This portrait is my search for answers—and an invitation for you to reflect on the world we live in today.

We went to the beach and their kid was running and playing around. This moment took just one second, and it is so beautiful that we froze this moment forever. Client: "My son's love and happiness are my greatest sources of strength and motivation. The bond between a momma and her boy is like no other."

Lieve, knappe Floor!

Two brothers came with their younger sister for a photo shoot. After each of them had their individual photos taken, they naturally wanted to take a picture together with the three of them. Together, they came up with this fun setup!

This beautiful woman came to visit my studio to take pictures for her birthday. She is a natural beauty. I have done a couple of photoshoots with her already, and all the photos came out so beautiful! I really love to take pictures of her. Client: "Every time I visit Gabriela is like a warm bath. She’s amazing and talented and I would recommend her to everyone. She’s an artist with a camera."
