Daphne van de Velde studied at the ArtEZ University of the Arts and the Fotoacademie Amsterdam where she graduated Cum Laude. She has won several awards both nationally and internationally.
With her body, she explores the border as a transition zone between the internal and the external, using the skin as a metaphor. The skin that meets, physically reacts, protects and isolates.
She is a multimedia artist, distorting and playing with the flat surface of the photograph, manipulating it to construct fragile sculptures and collages.
She visualizes boundary experiences of intimacy and sexuality, the vulnerable, tender body and its desire and longing. The sculptures give an opening to experience a physical field of tension.
A fight or an act of love, in her work it is never quite clear what the body is involved in.
Making the skin physically palpable, the body's border with the external world and the other can be described as the visual language of her work. The work is lucid and empathic.
She wants to visualize how we increasingly use our skin to prevent the intimate from coming out, or to prevent the other from intruding. Vulnerable physical reactions become hidden under polished layers of screen. In her work, she wants to make these physical reactions visible and palpable again.

EDUCATION:
FotoAcademie / Amsterdam, NL 2020 (cum laude)
ArtEZ University of the Arts / Arnhem, NL 2000 (Art Primeur nominee)

ARTIST STATEMENT:
Daphne van de Velde is a multimedia artist, who transcends the limitations of the photographic medium. Daphne van de Velde studied at the ArtEZ University of the Arts Arnhem and the Fotoacademie Amsterdam where she graduated cum laude. For several years between these two art academies, she was not visible in the contemporary visual arts scene. Yet it proved to be necessary and important for her to re-enter. Her work has won several awards both nationally and internationally.
Making the skin physically palpable, the body's border with the outside world and the other can be described as the visual language of her work. She explores the longing for contact in a world where people increasingly live in their own space. More and more, we use the skin to avoid revealing the intimate, or to prevent the other from intruding.
How do we deal with our containment of 'self'?
