Ruud Van Empel
The photography of Ruud van Empel is hailed for its haunting beauty. He creates collages using hundreds of fragments of his own work. Van Empel uses Photoshop to construct romantic, fictional worlds and conjures up people and landscapes that only exist within a photographic reality.
The images depict lovely dreamscapes. However, the shadowy side of this beauty is never far away.
