"It happens unexpectedly, a very brief moment in which I am touched by what I perceive with my eye and heart. I capture the moment with my camera. Then my inner journey begins; I sketch and intervene in the original image and create a new reality...."
Artist and photographer Hanny Heetman finds inspiration in places both far and near. Her intuitive sensitivity to the genius loci - the spirit of a place or a moment of wonder - forms the conceptual beginning of her art projects and reflects her adventurous, inquisitive nature. She intertwines the documentary with the dreamlike. In her images, these elements meet: observation and imagination, precision and poetry.
"Unreal and enriching... Very subtle and of high quality... Wonderfully beautiful"
