About the artwork

Sourcing her inspiration in the painting of the old masters of the 17th century, such as Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, Mathilde Oscar composes her photographs like a painter constructs a painting. Through the precise study of compositions and settings, she appropriates the codes of representation of yesteryear. She nonetheless distinguishes her work through a highly contemporary approach, by integrating staged elements from everyday life into her photographs that conspicuously disrupt our reading of them. Taken from the Renaissance 2.0 series, the image Girl with a Strawberry refers to Vermeer's 1665 masterpiece Girl with a Pearl Earring, which characterises the golden age of Dutch painting. The model, perhaps one of the painter's daughters, wears a pearl earring and a blue turban. For its composition and subject, similar to those of Leonardo da Vinci, it is also nicknamed the "Mona Lisa of the North".
