“We are all threads in a masterpiece
far beyond our understanding”
Hi I’m Valerie Spanjers,
I’m a photographer and artist from the Netherlands. My work lives in the space between presence and wonder, where light, nature, and human connection meet.
Photography is my way of exploring life with curiosity, of seeing beyond thoughts and rational thinking. A practice of noticing and finding magic in the ordinary.
My work is an invitation to look at the world with wide open eyes. To feel a sense of wonder and trust to enjoy the mystery of being alive.
Observations
& stories
I love capturing people and moments that are part of my life. It’s freeing to connect with the world around me this way, to observe with an open mind. It helps me reflect, and evoke a feeling of gratitude for what is right here, right now.
“Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
- Roald Dahl
Prints
My very first print collection “in flow”. Inspired by the movement of the sea. Representing the feeling of coming back to the well, back to creativity. A warm feeling in which time disappears and everything connects and flows. Where possibilities are endless, and new ideas spark, like the sun glittering on the ocean’s surface.
The studio
Based in Arnhem, the Netherlands
The studio is my playground to connect, to play, to feel and bring to light the magic that’s inside all of us.
