About The Artist

Geert Lemmers, free and liberal artist Fine Photo Art. I have been born in the mysterious Land van Maas en Waal in the Netherlands. I always remember the fairy-tale words of my grandmother about witches and secret societies. No doubt, that these stories have formed me to the artist I now am. After my photographic graduation I freelance worked for years making reportages and portraits for magazines and fashion photographs. After the digital revolution I could make my dream by making art, the way I saw it. In 2008 I won the professional art-price in my region and that was the start of a succesfull art-career. My work almost always is project-connected . After a pre-research I am going to photograph and-or choose photographs and after that I compose layer-over-layer works. This process gives me half-products which I use then in my end-products. Only a few of them I am confident with. A time-consuming process indeed. My work I am very interested in our people´s world and in cultural and sexual diversity. I mostly therefore work in projects and my basic-project is indeed about "the world of people" as a sort of general research. "The world of people is about men and women behind often beautiful looking facades in the middle of the chaotic universe we live in. I research the raw site of our lives represented as fairytales in a wonderland as a enlargement of our life. Enlarged characters in chaos, beauty and imperfection. In every new project I vary on this basic-entity. www.geertlemmers.nl geertlemmers@yahoo.com
