Fascinated by the boundaries our world operates in, her work is an attempt to see how far we can stretch established beliefs. Often dancing around the topics of masculinity & mental health, the work springs from her direct personal experiences. She combines straightforward observations with the poetry of personal impressions. In this way she creates worlds that may not truly exist, but feel safe to believe in. Combining analogue and digital photography, the work is translated in publications and immersing installations.
After attending The School of Journalism in Utrecht she received a Bachelor of Arts in Photography at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. After graduating in the summer of 2019 her work has been shown up to three times at The Melkweg Expo (Amsterdam) and has been on display at Kunsthuis 18 (Naaldwijk). Loretta's work has been published by Vogue Polska, Kiekie Tabloid and has had honourable mentions by Die Zeit and Playboy Polska. At the moment she is working as a freelance photo-editor for Amsterdam based newspaper Het Parool and finetuning her latest group exhibition 'STARRING YOU' that will take place at The Melkweg Expo on the 20th of march. Loretta is working as an official registered artist at STROOM.
Loretta Monique Mulders (02-02-1993, NL), graduated from the Photography department at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, works and lives in The Netherlands.
