Bird (2024) Fotografia da Marieke Treffers

I'm a Dutch stillife photografer based in The Hague. I graduated from the Academy of Image Creation in 2019 at Rotterdam as best of my class.

In my work I explore the delicate balance between tradition and innovation, between the personal and the universal. My still lifes with Delft blue vases and flowers are more than decorative images; they are a tribute to timeless beauty and emotional stories.

The Delft blue vase, an iconic heirloom in many Dutch families, is central to my art. It is not just an object – it is a symbol of connection between generations, of history and craft. By combining the vase with carefully chosen flowers, I create still lifes that radiate both classical harmony and contemporary sensitivity.

With light and composition I bring an almost painterly quality to my photography. Every petal, every shadow tells a story. I work from the belief that beauty is not superficial, but carries a deeper layer of meaning - a reminder of what we cherish, of what we want to pass on.

My mission is to give heirlooms like the Delft Blue vase a new life, not only as physical objects, but as works of art that keep stories alive. These still lifes are a bridge between past and future, a way to make emotional value tangible and capture the soul of an heirloom in a timeless composition.
