Married to his camera and engaged to his obstinacy of perfect images whilst having a constant rendezvous with characters and metaphorical analogies, Nico Stinghe is a player in the photography realm. Befitting germane emotions at the moment of his visual depiction, his analytical notion of the bourgeois and plebian subjects are always spun into interesting cobwebs. He is a storyteller in his own nature, the century’s Father Goose in one’s secret imagination: his photography peels your emotions and darkest secret entailing into a story you never knew existed.

A young girl lies on a large bed covered in confetti, with legs bare, scarred limbs, breasts exposed, and nothing to protect what remains of her modesty.The truth is unraveled. There is writing on the walls. Crude words, angry ones, poetry. Yet another fallen angel has been captured with splendor and grace. A porcelain, sickly sweet beauty, she presents an image of utter vulnerability, and a paradise on the verge of being lost.
Nic Stinghe’s art is provocative, and high in emotion. Disturbing at times, his photos and short films are often charged with tragedy and present a direct challenge to the viewer. Who is this girl? Is this for real?
Inspired by the fashion industry, Nic often asks his models to participate in the shoot by making their own costumes. This adds realness, we are not modeling haute-couture here…are we?
Photographer, filmmaker, architect and multi-media artist, Nic loves anything glam, the absurdity of things, the magic of dressing up and putting on makeup. Colors, glitter and sluts meet the sad and unfortunate. Nic likes people who have something to show, something to say,… a story to tell.
This is where crisis and beauty meet, where aesthetics merge with fashion and theatrality. He flirts with abstraction and design, simply for the sake of seeing the beauty of carnage in slow motion.
