Birgit studied Photography at the SASK Academy of fine arts Hasselt until 2001, and followed a summer workshop with Erwin Olaf at Flacc in 2001. She got her Specialisation Degree in 2009 with honorable mention. Birgit is looking out for the unremarkable, the pattern, the recurrent.
A subject evolves into abstraction, as if the image becomes a painting, and the silence is found. It’s the interest for contrast and dualism that shapes her work. Concepts of time, repetition, freezing a moment, subtle differences in light and shadow attract her attention. The awareness of being close to nature and of our limited time in this world has turned her eye to vulnerable and futile themes.
