Work Info

De Leeuw’s recent photo art series, A Night at the Ballet, showcase the both the artist’s technical range and mastery of multiple techniques, as well as her unbound imagination. At once surreal and deeply immersive, this series of digital artworks depicts wild animals inside historic buildings such as the Hermitage Museum. The surreal scenes create a fascinating narrative within each work, enhanced by De Leeuw’s cinematic compositions.
The vintage imagery lends each work a refined aesthetic, juxtaposed against the surreal subject matter. Both contemporary and timeless, these works celebrate the beauty of the man-made and the natural, inviting us to question our relationship with the outside world.
