Nico van Dongen

Nico van Dongen is a designer and fine art photographer. He says, "Everything there is, is art. In my creative practice, I visualize without pretense. I see art in everything that surrounds me. Art doesn’t just feed one’s soul. Art is a relationship that is temperamental and demands a response that is pure. Art is always one step ahead, the process is always critical and challenging. When I am making art and in the flow of creation, I am reminded every time, that I am merely the humble custodian of my craft. Art rewards me–only when I surrender to the moment–by filling my soul with joy."
