Through the Lens of Awoiska van der Molen

Awoiska van der Molen, was born 1972 in Groningen, the Netherlands and is currently based between Amsterdam and Umbria, Italy. After studying photography at St. Joost Academy Breda (NL) and architecture the Dutch Academy of fine Arts Minerva in Groningen, van deer Molen became known for her monochrome landscapes, taken throughout the Europe. Her work arises out of a desire to penetrate deeply into the core of the isolated world in which she photographs. She stands out as someone who remains rooted in the riches of analogue photography and printing, playing out these roots in an extreme manner by creating monumental pieces that combine intentionality in choice of subject and photographic craftsmanship.
