Girls with Pearls by Caroline Sikkenk
Girls with Pearls draws inspiration from the work of Johannes Vermeer, but with a modern twist. Just like Vermeer, photographer Caroline Sikkenk creates a sense of wonder through her use of light, color, and composition, and her own contemporary interpretation conveys a message of diversity and unity. Explore Vermeer's world in words and images!
Ever since her studies at the Photo Academy in Amsterdam, Caroline Sikkenk has been fascinated by the Dutch Masters and their extraordinary attention to light and detail. This led to a series of photographs inspired by Vermeer's works. The photos were taken in Delft at historical locations connected to Vermeer. The models are people Caroline encountered by chance, for example, on the street, at the hairdresser, or at a concert. Moreover, Vermeer's painting "The Girl with a Pearl Earring" has become such an iconic image that it no longer matters whether the model is a girl or a boy, young or old, or what color their skin or hair is. The clothing is contemporary fashion, and each garment is unique, as is the pearl the model wears. Each model is therefore a unique pearl in her own right!
