Unusual and beautiful landscapes by Graafland

Dutch artist Scarlett Hooft Graafland produces her work in remote locations where the inhabitants have been forced to adapt to the natural conditions rather than the other way around.  

It is not about being where only very few people have been before, but about discovering an authenticity in a space, which often means that beauty and wonder simply combine into fantastic images.  

Scarlett comments,  "I am filled with nostalgia for places where people are very close to nature. Places where people have barely interfered with nature. The wonder of nostalgia for places you have never been to. The wonder of creating situations that have never existed before and will probably never exist again. Situations that are possible but very unlikely to occur again. Magic realism."
