RENATA DUTRÉE

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

Renata Dutrée is a Dutch Fine Art photographer and former dermatologist who creates classical Fine Art portraits and Still lifes. She is inspired by the great artists in painting and sculpture of the previous centuries, especially the Greek and Roman periods, the Renaissance, and the Golden Age. In the period following her graduation from the Photo Academy in Amsterdam (December 2019), she created a series with a strong personal signature. She has won numerous international awards for her inclusive and intimate photographs.

Dutrée uses light with references to symbolism, religion, art, and history. In her artworks, she intertwines the personal stories and emotions of the models with past experiences as a medical doctor. She explores ways to portray humanity differently by giving space to expressing an inner life, one that is kept hidden, and giving it significance and legitimacy.
