Once I've studied Architectural Design at the Royal Academy of Arts but years and years later I totally fell in love with photography. Now I am addicted to making images (and therefor a bit hooked on Flickr :-). You can have a glimpse on my website and I would appreciate it when you leave me a message ;-). You can also find me on facebook or hyves.nl :-). I am looking forward to meet you!

greetz!

    "I first met Bianca about two years ago when I first joined Flickr. Her work stood out from most not only because of the technical quality, but her imagery carried a message, a story, it was cinematic even though a still frame taken from the story of Life. Dialogues with Bianca, while more infrequent now, were always a delight, and I know, whenever I see a new posting from her, it will be creatively invigorating.
    Her stream' is not to be missed."

    Stephen's PhotoArt says:

    "Bianca doesn't "take photos", she creates images from deep inside herself, composing them with the characters, symbols, and landscapes of the world of imagination common to us all, at least in our dreams.

    Whether she is treating essential issues like death and decay or the passage of time or man's (small) place in the universe, she composes as a painter does, purposefully expressing her vision............ which is amazingly consistent from her early images like "House of chairs", to her recent ones. I am particularly sensitive to the elements of surrealism she incorporates -- the strange stillness, the poignant emptiness of her landscapes, (the men in top hats :-), the de-familiarization of things we think we know.

    Bianca, it is truly a privilege and an inspiration to know you and your work!

    (and I'm still amazed that you bought my book :-)"

    "The reason I find Bianca's stream so compelling, is that she taps into every emotion, whether is it the darkest part of the soul, a ethereal dream or the most optimistic side of daily living. She brings her concepts to life in such a powerful and precise way and each and every composition resonates in a big way with me.

    I'm always looking forward to seeing the next thing that comes out of her brilliant mind."

    "Bianca was one of the first photographers here on flickr that truly inspired me. She remains one of the steady few that I return to again and again for pure enjoyment and that rush of inspiration. It is clear when viewing her portfolio that she is beyond many of us here. Her images, whether catagorized experimental, industrial, landscape... have a sophistication that is rarely found.

    If you haven't viewed her website, you are in for a real treat. And her image "the watcher" is one of my all time favorites ever!

    Thanks, Bianca, for being the beautiful you!"

    "I have only just stumbled across Biancas photostream and am absolutely knocked out by the sheer quality and uniqueness of her work. Every image is drop dead gorgeous. It makes one evaluate their own work and strive to have just one picture as powerful as hers. Just stunning!"

    Marc Ilford Photography says:

    "I should have written this long time ago but better late than ever. This lady is a remarkable photographer (or should I say graphical artist?) for many reasons. First she is non-snobbish, non-equipment jerking individual with always a positive attitude towards others which is pretty uncommon trait among talented photographers. Also taking in consideration she started with photography and image alteration not so long ago her technical photography and manipulation skills are way beyond ordinary. She truly does take photography to another level. But her biggest trait is her overwhelming creative talent. she never fails to come up with something new, a new theme, a new look, a new approach, a new style but always with her own distinctive character. This creative talent she combines with a vision, one always feels she already knows what the end-result should look like before pressing the shutter. Her images are no "happy-accidents" in photoshop. Fortunately her talent is recognized already by many and I hope to see more published work in the future. She is a sparkling diamond in this big massive ocean of images called Flickr."
