Nancy Poeran

“After a successful career of 20-years in various managerial positions in the business world, I took the exciting step in 2020 to follow my passion for photography and enrolled at the Photoacademy in Amsterdam and graduated in December 2023Photography allows me to give free rein to my creativity. I hope that my images inspire and strengthen. Reality does not exist. Everything is subjective. In my opinion there are several layers of truth. What is real and when do we consider it a created reality? I have always been interested in human psychology and identity. The serie We are all made of light and shadow reflects the complexity and diversity that takes place both in the world and within ourselves. My work is a combination of photography combined with AI, sketch and other techniques. I create various figures, by entering into a dialogue with artificial intelligence (AI), constantly manipulating the images and applying different techniques searching for the soul and essence. In the process I consciously use contrasts such as light and dark, organic and geometric shapes to experience how this interplay reinforces each other.
