About

Gemmy Woud-Binnendijk is a Dutch contemporary artist.

Her creative path began with liquid pigments and a brush, but, as life often does, her path took her away from painting. In claiming space for her creative practice, Gemmy picked up a camera and started experimenting. “This became a way for me to paint again” Through the manipulation of light and pixels, Gemmy began creating work that exists somewhere in-between painting and photography.

The lighting has become an aesthetic that layers velvet colors across a canvas of deep shadow and glinting highlights- to create an image full of shadow and light with a beautiful stillness in-between. “Beauty, for me, is to create an image where all the elements melt and then come together solidly.

To tell a story using lines, light, color, and the contrast between them.” Led by her intuition and an obsession to create; as if she was moving liquid pigments on a canvas, For Gemmy, each detail is lovingly obsessed over and refined- from the backdrops that she generally paints herself to the costumes, set building, styling, and post-production.

Gemmy’s artworks become a depiction of real things not entirely grounded in reality. Each of her painterly photographs expresses a beautiful stillness, a stillness existing between awake and asleep. Gemmy’s works claim the spaces in-between, with each work expressing a divine transition between the tradition of painting and photography, between the painters of the past and artists of today, between analog details and digital pixels, reality, and fantasy, between the banal and the ideal, between light and shadow and between textured motion and pearlescent stillness.
