ARTIST - FLOKJE VAN LITH - contemporary portraits

Flokje grew up in an intellectual, artistic family. She left for a round the world trip as a teenager, when she started seeing the world through her camera. Back home she attended an orientation year at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Soon after she studied Photography at the Royal Academy of Arts in the Hague. She remembers the magical moment when her image used to appear, processed in darkness. For many years Flokje worked as a portrait photographer commissioned by both private clients and companies. She always wondered what would happen working for a longer period at one work. After having completed her first autonomous series in 2011, it got selected immediately for the Photo Festival Naarden in the Netherlands and the Photo Festival Brooklyn in New York. Soon she worked with leading art galleries exposing her works at national and international art fairs and exhibitions. Flokje's contemporary art portraits have been edited with utmost care and precision to create paint-like works. Her artworks are part of private art collections all over the world and have won multiple international awards.
