Photographer Dindi van der Hoek

Dutch photographer Dindi van der Hoek was born in 1976, graduated in 1999 from the Willem de Kooning Academy and the Piet Zwart Institute in 2000 and developed a photographic portfolio with unique images which, for the greater part, are shot under water.
The fascinating forms of the human body caused by the water’s reflections combined with her unconventional perspective about physical aesthetics determines the appearance of Dindi’s work.
This specific mode of under water photography reflects Dindi’s deep passion and dedication to her art.
She continuously aims to convey duality and inner contradictions in her work and uses historical references and sources such as Francis Bacon and Caravaggio which influence her overall approach and technique.
At first glance her images may seem fairytale-like, but in reality her work is thought provoking and complex.
Through her camera lens she allows us to have a look into a mysterious almost unconscious world, where multiple interpretations may co-exist.
