Hearts with love captured in light and shadow by Lisette Rijkers

This artistic artwork, made with my photo camera, shows a beautiful display of light and shadow.
The hearts, made of wood, I found in a second-hand shop. Two small hearts with a beautiful wood texture, painted in a soft pastel shade.
Such a small and cute object puts my creative brain to work and inspires me to make a special picture of it.
For this light and shadow artwork, I photographed the hearts twice: once the hearts together and for the other photo, one heart separately.
The low lighting ensures that the structure of the wooden hearts is nicely visible. Also, because of this special lighting, two shadow stripes can be seen at the top of the artwork.
The dark background enhances the special atmosphere in this photo. This makes the shadow and light play even more visible.
Hearts are the symbol of love, of falling in love and of loving.
With this special artwork of hearts, you therefore bring some extra love and warmth into your house and make your house a real home!

I see making art as a creative process.
As a starting point for this process, I always use a photo or a painting of my own. Photography or painting is always my basis.
A photo or a painting is therefore always a fixed starting point for me in this process. I often have a plan in my head about what the end result should be, but during the process I often change direction. The effect of this is that the final work of art is different from what I had previously thought, but that only makes the creative process more fascinating for me!

I find my sources of inspiration in everything around me. For example, objects in and around the house or something from nature. Every object has its own structure and shape. Beautiful lines, patterns and colours can be found everywhere.

My collection contains creative and realistic photos, special paintings, but also photos and paintings that have finally been digitally edited or distorted.

I have made all of this with great pleasure and I hope that you will enjoy the work of art that will hang on your wall!
