Throughout her work, de Brauw shows fascination with the domestic space. Her current paintings are inspired by model houses and interiors taken from lifestyle magazines. The interior photos, which the paintings are based on, echo and amplify our desires, and what we desire is influenced by the pictures. The photos are copying life by studying our wishes and behaviour. And then life is copying the photos. As such, the paintings can become a framework that reflect the continued migration of forms and ideas, from magazines to real life, back into magazines, in an endless mirroring of historic forms and their imitations.
