"The natural world is a place of wonder, imagination and hidden stories. As an artist, I see it as my calling to make it visible to you."

About

Ingeborg Steenhorst (1973), is a Dutch visual artist, photographer, fashion designer and hiking lover. She creates unique autonomous art as a tribute to nature and the hidden stories she sees within it. She brings these stories to life through her photography and mixed media art. With specifically selected landscapes and carefully composed costumes, decorations and digital edits, she creates painterly photographic artworks  that stimulate the imagination. With her art Ingeborg aims to rekindle the bond between individuals and the natural world. By including the beauty of nature and the diversity of our natural environment in her photo's, she hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the world around us.


Inspiration

Ingeborg's artworks and photography find their inspiration in nature, stories, and the pursuit of autonomy. Each creation is infused with the desire to reconnect people with nature and spirituality. Her photo series involve an extensive process from writing scripts, scouting models and nature locations, creating costumes, decorations and decor props to handpainting backgrounds. Her storytelling series are created in specially for the storyline  selected natural landscapes. For her conceptual 'painted bodies' photo art Ingeborg works both outside in nature and indoors in studio setting.

During post-production she works on her photos digitally on the computer and after having them printed also physically with mixed media. It gives her photo's a special depth and unique signature. All this results in 'painterly' fine art photo's in which wonder, admiration, fantasy and reality alternate against a background of nature and art.
