Dana Lixenberg
It’s life’s uneventful aspects my documentary portraits and landscapes tend to deal with, when all the noise dissipates and everyday life’s daily grind can actually turn out very exciting; it reveals a lot about life.

Dana Lixenberg (1964, the Netherlands) has the ability to capture her subjects in profound moments of temporal being; in doing so, she engages in analytical scrutiny without imposing judgement. The artist’s subtle and sophisticated feel for color and her sensitivity for capturing the finest indications and details of human expression are striking in each of her portraits. The power of her work arises in the intimacy and the absence of social stereotyping.
