^{@sandrazegarrapatow}
I am Sandra Zegarra Patow, a Peruvian artist with a degree in Interactive Media Design from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. Deeply connected to my Peruvian roots, my work exists at the intersection of harmony and oddness.

Through distorted forms, dreamy patterns, and nature's color palette, l invite viewers to step into a world that reflects my inner landscape.

My creative practice is intuitive, shaped by my beliefs and the relationships I build with my subjects. It mirrors not only how I approach art but how I navigate life. Culture, traditions, and history influence my work, with nostalgia acting as a thread between my past and present. By embracing these roots, I contribute to the dialogue of identity, both personal and collective.

The women who surround me - strong, resilient, and inspiring - fuel my creativity.

They remind me of our shared strength, and through my work, I aim to pass that energy on. Humor, femininity, sexuality, and a touch of sarcasm are all elements I weave into my art, creating a space where the complex and the playful can coexist.

Ultimately, my work is about sparking dialogue and encouraging new ways of seeing the world. I believe that art has the power to shift perspectives, and that's the space where I want my work to live.

Oog voor diversiteit, passie voor fotografie
Ik ben Ninny, een gepassioneerde fotograaf met oog voor diversiteit. Voor mij is fotografie meer dan alleen een beeld vastleggen; het is een manier om verhalen te vertellen, emoties te vangen en de schoonheid van mensen in al hun eigenheid te laten zien.

Mijn specialiteit ligt in close-ups en portretten – de kracht van een blik, de diepte van een expressie, de puurheid van een moment. Ik neem de tijd om mensen op hun gemak te stellen en hun authentieke zelf naar voren te brengen. Want echte schoonheid zit in echtheid.

In 2021 werd mijn inzending voor het project Publieke Werken Rotterdam geselecteerd als een van de tien betekenisvolle werken in de stad – een moment van trots en erkenning voor mijn werk. Maar de grootste voldoening haal ik uit de kleine, intieme momenten die ik mag vastleggen: een lach, een blik, een verhaal dat in beeld tot leven komt.

Of het nu gaat om een persoonlijk portret, een bijzondere gelegenheid of een uniek project, ik kijk ernaar uit om waardevolle momenten te vereeuwigen.

^Diewke

^{@diewkevandenheuvel}
Diewke grew up alongside the serene and inspiring banks of the River Rijn, a setting that nurtured a deep connection to the natural world and its ever-changing landscapes. This early fascination with the interplay between humanity and the environment led to a pursuit of Geography inacademia, where Diewke explored the intricacies of place, space, and their cultural implications. Building on this foundation, Diewke graduated in Photography from the HKU (Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht) in 2005, combining analytical insight with a keen artistic vision.

In the last five years, Diewke’s work has garnered significant recognition, earning a prominent presence in exhibitions and collections around the world. A multi-disciplinary photographer, Diewke examines themes of environment, identity, and resilience, often weaving together elements of science, history, and storytelling to create evocative visual narratives. This exploration culminated in the publication of the book Melting Heart, a poignant reflection on climate collapse, which resonated deeply with audiences.

Diewke has also been an integral part of Soils, a collaborative multi-disciplinary project that spans the Van Abbemuseum, TarraWarra Museum of Art, and Struggles for Sovereignty. This ambitious initiative examines the connections between land, sovereignty, and cultural memory, aligning seamlessly with Diewke’s artistic ethos. Through these varied endeavors, Diewke continues to redefine the boundaries of photography, forging connections between art, ecology, and social commentary.

It will serve businesses, magazines, fashion houses, and brands specifically seeking authentic and innovative imagery shaped by a female perspective.

Posthumanism. — website — Beauty trends are an influence in the way we’re becoming posthuman, you could even state that some beauty ideals enforce posthumanism. Because of the growth of technologies certain beauty standards can be met easier nowadays. The question we should be asking ourselves is; do we really want to be able to execute all the beauty standards we see online? If we take a look at all the posts we’ve gathered on Instagram it’s becoming a bit extreme; cheeks so filled up with botox Maleficent couldn’t even compare , lashes so big they kind of resemble spiders and skins so clear, you’d question if the other person even has pores.

We’re slowly becoming people that exist in a state beyond being human, this is the very essence of becoming posthuman.

On a more serious note; Most beauty trends come from Western beauty ideals which concludes in there being a lack of representation. This will high likely end up in there being an unfair advantage for (already) western looking people in meeting the beauty standards. What will happen to the people who don’t even come close to the Western beauty ideals?
