Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

Dorien Jorissen is a friend of mine. We met at a group-exhibition where our work was shown together in the same room. I think I was drawn to her paintings not only because of the aesthetic value but most of all because of the strong link there is between some of our work. When I asked about her paintings she only replied with »I try to create a mysterious atmosphere«. Her inspiration comes from an archive of family pictures, where she carefully selects scenes that raise more questions than it answers.
