"Boelsums’ interplay of sky and light and land, her overwhelming and yet intimate photos add a magnificent touch to what might initially appear nondescript."– Manon Uphoff
Quotes from the jury who selected Saskia Boelsums as the Dutch Artist of the Year in 2020:
"Vivid photography worthy of the old Dutch masters!"
"Exceptionally beautiful landscape photos: Saskia introduces a completely new style to this discipline."
"Her work moves me and repeatedly renders me speechless."
"Then I see Saskia Boelsums’ landscape photos on display. A shiver of pleasure runs through me." Joyce Roodnat - NRC Handelsblad
Saskia Boelsums dramatic photographs of Dutch landscapes reflect on the atmospheric paintings of the Golden Age painters such as Jacob van Ruisdael and Jan van Goyen, but her work is clearly seeped in her own experience of nature. Lashing rain over the sea, sun breaking through storm clouds, and fields of flowers bathed in an otherworldly light: these images are the result of hours and days of waiting to capture the perfect moment. In this, her second book of landscape photographs, she presents not only Dutch landscapes and seascapes, but also landscapes photographed on visits to Germany, Switzerland, and New York.
Visual artist Saskia Boelsums was born in the Netherlands and grew up in Iran and Curaçao. She attended art school and graduated in spatial and graphic design. Since 2013, she has focused entirely on photography and has achieved great success with multiple nominations and awards, including Artist of the Year in 2020. Saskia has already exhibited her work in Amsterdam, London, Berlin, Moscow, Hong Kong and New York.
