Royal Bubble

• Photographer
  Cheraine Collette

This work challenges perceptions of freedom and confinement. The palace opulence stands as a stark contrast to the lion's natural habitat. A commentary on societal constructs and the often illusionary nature of freedom and wealth. Can the manmade world and the natural world coexist in harmony or will the manmade bubble swallow all?

Detailed creatures of the natural realm paired with fantastical scenes of the imagination have created a signature style. An oeuvre that has become widely awarded and that can be found in esteemed private collections on a global scale. Cheraine Collette is a Dutch artist who specializes in fine art photography and digital painting. Essentially, she creates imaginary worlds composed of photographed parts of nature and locations across the globe. Her work can be summarized in three ways - Authentic, Imaginative, and a longing for beauty.
