MICHABRAAKSMA

Micha Braaksma (2004) is a Dutch multi-disciplinary artist, based in Middelburg, the Netherlands. He focuses on text and imagery, often in the form of poetry and photography, both as stand alone as well as intertwining practices. Besides this, he is actively involved with fashion as a creative director, stylist, and model. 


For Braaksma, he sees his writing as primarly a medium for his personal reflections and ideas, instead of as a creative practice. Hence besides his poetry, he also writes non-fiction. His writing is primarly concerned with philosophical themes, especially around existentialism. This is often in the context of his own personal developments as a young adult. With his writing he often combines other artforms, including filmmaking, photography, and music. 


Braaksma's photography contrasts his writing in that it fullfils more his creative desire. He feels at home in his studio, as well as on the streets or in nature. Outside he prefers to take and accept what is given to him, relinquishing control to the wind and sun. In the studio instead he strives to carefully control his lighting and composition, yet manipulate it in such a way that the grit, texture, and contrast from outside are parodied inside.
