Danielle van Zadelhoff

This book is published with an exhibition of more than 50 photographs by Danielle van Zadelhoff at CAC Málaga, the Dutch artist's first show in Spain. The themes of her photographic works denote an intentional existentialism, reflected in her painterly use of chiaroscuro to convey the textures of each subject's skin and gaze. At once simple and deeply complex, surprising and intensely stark, Van Zadelhoff's portraits convey her fascination with the human psyche, using models to interpret innate questions of temptation, vulnerability, doubt, and faith as a pretext for self-exploration. It shows how the role and situation of women in today's society is one of her main interests.
