Meet Anliette

—

Anliette is an award-winning fine art photographer whose work is defined by a quiet sensitivity to light, texture, and tone. With over two decades of experience in art, design, and photography, she brings a refined, intuitive eye to her practice — creating images that are both soulful and deeply intentional.

Her photographic journey began through floristry, documenting her ephemeral floral creations while working alongside renowned Dutch master florist Pim van den Akker in Delft. This formative experience, combined with her background in graphic design, shaped her distinctive aesthetic: a poetic dance between painterly composition, evocative light, and natural form.

Her work is influenced by the Dutch Masters and the Impressionists — a dialogue between dramatic lighting and painterly aesthetics that continues to define her signature style.

Anliette’s practice is inspired by the stillness and strength of the natural world, often drawing parallels between the fleeting and the eternal. Her debut fine art series, Anima Mea, was born from a desire to preserve beauty before it faded — a concept that continues to guide her work. The series was featured in British Vogue, appeared on the cover of Nikon Pro Europe, and was recognised by the International Photography Awards.

Her images have been commissioned by leading chefs, and curated into both residential and commercial spaces around the world. Today, she continues to produce a body of fine art prints created with lasting intention, emotional resonance, and collector value.

She is currently developing the Altered Series — a bold exploration of beauty, memory, and transformation. Blurring the line between natural and imagined, each piece reimagines the familiar through soft distortion and saturated artifice. In a world shaped by editing, Altered is an ode to imperfection, nostalgia, and the art of reinvention.
