Terra Uitgeverij Landscape Photography
The dramatic landscape photographs of Saskia Boelsums manifest a strong connection to the Dutch tradition of landscape paintings. She is inspired by nature, weather, and the seasons, with clouds and skies characterised by moody chiaroscuro and painterly monumentality. The reality of the changing climate, and what this will mean for the future, is a theme that runs throughout her work. She captures not only the beauty of the landscape, but also a vague sense of uncertainty and threat. As she says: "It looks like the classic historical Dutch landscapes and skies are being pushed out by landscapes and skies that are the result of climate change. I am very aware of that tension." "I am photographing when most people think the weather is too bad to go outside. By exploring different landscapes in all four seasons, I feel strongly connected to the universe. That feeling I'm trying to pass on through my landscape photos." - Saskia Boelsums.

Terra Uitgeverij Pictorial Landscape Photography
"Boelsums’ interplay of sky and light and land, her overwhelming and yet intimate photos add a magnificent touch to what might initially appear nondescript."– Manon Uphoff Quotes from the jury who selected Saskia Boelsums as the Dutch Artist of the Year in 2020: "Vivid photography worthy of the old Dutch masters!" "Exceptionally beautiful landscape photos: Saskia introduces a completely new style to this discipline." "Her work moves me and repeatedly renders me speechless." "Then I see Saskia Boelsums’ landscape photos on display. A shiver of pleasure runs through me." Joyce Roodnat - NRC Handelsblad Saskia Boelsums dramatic photographs of Dutch landscapes reflect on the atmospheric paintings of the Golden Age painters such as Jacob van Ruisdael and Jan van Goyen, but her work is clearly seeped in her own experience of nature. Lashing rain over the sea, sun breaking through storm clouds, and fields of flowers bathed in an otherworldly light: these images are the result of hours and days of waiting to capture the perfect moment. In this, her second book of landscape photographs, she presents not only Dutch landscapes and seascapes, but also landscapes photographed on visits to Germany, Switzerland, and New York.

Terra Uitgeverij Saskia Boelsums. Artist with a Camera

This career overview, accompanied by an interview with the artist, explores how she has evolved as an artist, from still life and portrait photography to her well-known impressionistic landscapes. She lives and works under the same skies as the Dutch Masters, and she references their influence in her approach to colour, light and subject.
