Petra Mwaro
DROWNING (Series)
DESCRIPTION
DROWNING, March 2024
“The winter months are hard for me. I greatly enjoy withdrawing and letting the world pass by. (I think I could very well become a hermit, too). When it is late March, the sun starts shining, literally and figurally. This work reflects how I felt at that time. It has become a series of 5 images.’’
The special feature of this work is that it is partially finished with a glossy layer and partially remains matte above the waterline.
This work is available 20x30 cm, 40×60 cm, 60×90 cm, 80×120 cm
AUTHOR
Petra Mwaro (58) spent her formative years in the Netherlands, where her passion for visual storytelling and creative expression first took root. From an early age, Petra’s unique perspective allowed her to see the world through the lens of a camera, and this affinity for capturing compelling images has been a constant theme in her life.
Petra’s journey led her to pursue a career in Visual Merchandising and Marketing with a leading
multinational fashion retailer, where she honed her skills in creating captivating imagery for over 25 years.
In 2019, Petra boldly decided to pursue her lifelong love of photography, enrolling in the ‘School of Photography’ in Utrecht, The Netherlands. After graduating with high praise in 2020, Petra’s artistic vision truly blossomed, leading her to seamlessly blend reality with fiction in her photographs.
