Photography and art interested Petra from an early age. After graduating from high school, she transferred to the technical college for design in Bochum.
In her current freelance work, she is guided by the search for atmosphere and light.
Influences
The old masters teach her how to deal with light, impressionists inspire her in the use of colours and abstract art serves as an example in terms of minimalism.
Work by Petra Beckers
Is mainly guided by the search for atmosphere and light. This applies to her art photography more than anything. Petra; "I get a lot of inspiration from paintings, a visit to a museum provides the fuel for new serie and ideas. Seeking and finding beauty and aesthetics also in places and moments, where you do not expect it - that is the story I tell with my photos" These magnificent pieces of art pull you in, transporting you to a world beyond the ordinary.
