Teis Albers

Born in 1982 in the south of the Netherlands, Teis Albers is a contemporary Dutch artist whose work brings together photography, digital composition and expressive mixed-media techniques to create ethereal floral artworks. Working from his garden studio in Berlicum, Albers photographs flowers, stems, roots and branches from nature, digitally composing his images before transferring them onto canvas. He then works over each piece by hand, building layers of paint, texture and varnish to create remarkable depth and movement. Delicate highlights are embedded within these layers,  coming alive as the viewer moves around the artwork. Rather than depicting perfectly formed blooms, Albers embraces the natural imperfections, movement and transience of real flowers. His compositions have an almost underwater quality, with petals and leaves appearing to float within luminous, atmospheric spaces. Every artwork is individually developed with variations in colour, texture and detail, ensuring each piece has its own distinctive character. With a background in graphic design, Albers Likes to add a digital composition to all his pieces, bringing a sophisticated sense of composition to his work, while his enduring fascination with nature gives each piece an organic, tactile and deeply evocative quality.
