Marvels series

How will places look, when forces of nature reclaim what once was lost? Will the new inhabitants of these Marvels simply be bypassers or will they stay and make thriving cities of nature’s life. Because of mankind, the animals have been pushed to live in the most abandoned regions of the earth. In search of places where men are rarer than animals. Shall the ballrooms be again a place of dance and joy, rooms full of life, and the buildings a place of comfort and shelter against the crude forces who retook them?

Concept: 2017
Process: February, 2019 – 2022

Cheraine Collette

Cheraine Collette was born in 1993, in a forest-side town in the east of the Netherlands. Cheraine Collette started drawing at the age of 3, the first subjects she would try to capture drawing were horses and other animals, quickly after which she would gain insights from her mother about mixing colours and how to draw in perspective by her brother.

From the age of 12, she started experimenting with one of the earliest Photoshop suites (CS1), accompanied with a digital painting tablet and brush, which was all introduced by her father. She instantly used it to paint and to layer- and manipulate her photographs. She finished her education in Photographic Design at the Fotovakschool, University of Applied Photography in 2015.

Cheraine Collette’s work is dedicated to showing the constant battle between nature and humanity, the beauty and vulnerability of nature, and historic buildings. To inspire future generations to preserve both our natural heritage and also our cultural heritage. Her work covers every aspect of photographic production, from photographing- to manipulating and digitally painting her images. In her photography, you will often find fauna, which she has photographed in their own natural habitat, to make the audience more aware that fauna can be left in peace for the final photograph.
