About Artist

Natalia Van Der Smissen

I am a Germany-based photographer and visual artist working between documentary and conceptual practices. With a background in mathematics and later training in drawing, I approach photography through both structural awareness and sensitivity to form. My work explores scale, memory, and embodied presence within space. I am drawn to quiet, transitional moments — situations where fragility, perception, and human experience intersect. Rather than focusing on spectacle, I work with restraint, minimal composition, and atmosphere to create space for reflection. Alongside my artistic practice, I work in commercial photography. My ongoing projects investigate how personal and physical environments shape our sense of identity and vulnerability.
