visual artist

Mathilde Karrèr loves color, accessories and flowers to create lavish, eclectic yet subtle compositions with a captivating narrative. Half-way between paintings and movie stills, her photographs are elaborate, visually-rich micro worlds with knowingly chosen details.Her lighting and the wish to make every image premium, texturised and rich; this is what make her photography stand out.

Many of her works, she develops and styles herself. With a distinct sense for props, styling and set design, a skill she developed in her days assisting in the Art Department on filmsets. 

"The art of Still Life painting, throughout the centuries, is a big influence in my work, also late 20th century movies, the production and set design, I find inspirational.It's all about telling a story in light, subject and emotion."

I like to approach a project as a director, set designer and photographer in one. 

Certain themes will re-emerge in my work, like the the strong connection to the classical still life, however I like to experiment, try out new a new approaches and push my own reference framework"
