Vincent Rijs BE-MIRAGE Reflection and mirroring are the motives in the photographic work of Vincent Rijs.Hushed images with a warm colour palette placed in a melancholy frame, sometimes with a hint of surrealism. He finds his inspiration in the dramatic chiaroscuro of the painters of the Golden Age, Caravaggio, Rembrandt. His compositions seem carefully orchestrated, the characters in the picture apparently acting in their scenes, but it is not. The choreography arises quite spontaneously. The beautiful, mystical atmosphere it evokes is somewhat uncertain with a musing, sometimes wistful longing ... ..there we enter an inner world that is also recognized again in a strange way?
