Iris Gonzalez

Iris Gonzalez has always had a fascination with the golden age. As a small child she was already captivated by the mysticism, wealth and excess of that time. Later she also started to delve more and more into the paintings of the old masters, especially the still lifes and portraits. Her admiration for the detailing, the structure and the balance between light and shadow are a source of inspiration for her. She also plays with light and shadow in her work and you never get tired of the details that keep appearing the longer you look.

With her work she pays tribute to the old masters. She tries to create the effect of a painting with her photography, paying attention to every detail, just like in the paintings of the old masters. Just as the old masters managed to capture the light, colors and structures with every brushstroke, Iris does this in her photography. In her work she builds a bridge between the present and the past. From a painting from the golden age to a contemporary medium, photography.
