  • More about Still Life

Helena van der Kraan, a renowned photographer, has left an indelible mark on the world of photography with her captivating images that evoke a profound reflection on the ordinary aspects of life. Her photographs, characterized by their simplicity and directness, encourage viewers to form their own metaphorical connections with the subjects captured. Rather than imposing her own interpretation, van der Kraan allows the viewer to engage with the images on their own terms. For her, a bottle remains simply a bottle, devoid of any deeper meaning or symbolism. However, it is through her lens that she finds immense comfort and beauty in the everyday objects around her.

This passion for capturing the mundane has led her to dedicate her entire career to still life photography. Her latest book, titled "Still (a) Life," is a testament to her dedication and showcases a selection of her finest works. The images in the book are carefully chosen to complement her posthumous solo exhibition, "Still (a) Life," held at the Madé van Krimpen Gallery.

Collaborating closely with the gallery, van der Kraan has created a captivating collection that invites viewers to explore the intricate details and quiet beauty of the everyday objects that surround us. Through her lens, van der Kraan invites us to slow down and appreciate the world around us, finding solace and inspiration in the simplest of things.

Helena van der Kraan's photography is a testament to the power of simplicity and the ability to find beauty in the most ordinary of places. Her work encourages us to look beyond the surface and to engage with the world on a deeper level, fostering a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world around us.
