Biography

Barbara van Ittersum (1965) studied painting, graphic and audiovisual design before she decided to specialize herself in photography at the University for the Arts in Utrecht (HKU). 

She has been working as a photographer since 1987 and has held many expositions as well as doing acclaimed work for magazines and outdoor advertisements. 

In Barbara's search for the underlying truth she surpasses the boundaries of conventionality and good taste which results in images of vanity and lust, cruelty and pride, fear and loneliness; a reflection of her passionate and outgoing personality.  

Her pictures function as a mirror for others as well and because of her impulsive view of life associations concerning happenings from daily life are put into a different perspective. 

Van Ittersum’s work has been frequently exhibited over the last few decades. Breakthrough exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and the Clair Obscure Gallery in Los Angeles (2005) gave her artistic language a multifarious signature. 

Todd David Schwarts, at the time art critic for CBS Radio in the United States, describes Van Ittersum in those years as one of the most talented avant-garde photographers in the world.

"Barbara's fascination for transitoriness and decay lead her to  create a huge sequence of photos  about psychiatry, pregnancy, plastic surgery and pollution. 
Exhausting like her never ending  leaps of thought. 
Eccentric, willful and  verbally sometimes frankly inimitable. Perhaps a reason why she prefers to let her arranged concept images speak for themselves..."
