“When I manage to get the essence of what I want to express, it’s the moment I love the most in Life.” Ingrid Baars
An artist and photographer, Ingrid Baars constructs her creations by exploring the relationship between aesthetics, emotion, flesh and seduction in a unique and poetic style.
In ‘L’Afrique c’est Chic!’’, Ingrid Baars combines two opposing worlds by playing with the contrast between classic African art and contemporary creation. A contrast between the lifeless object and the vulnerability of life, a tension between distance and attraction.
Ingrid Baars sculpts with wood, the human body and metal with a real feeling of intimacy which she shares in each image, adding accessories and creations from famous stylists (Christophe Coppens, Iris Van Herpen, Romain Brau, Jean-Paul Gaultier) enabling her to achieve a sculptural dimension which reveals a powerful character in each photograph.

Each element is chosen to reinforce the other, each detail that attracts the eye plays its part; a shadow, a skin texture, a patina, in an exploration of aesthetics, emotion and seduction.
In her works, Ingrid Baars calls for complete freedom. Fascinated by the human body, in particular the female body, by the beauty that emanates from it, but also by classic African sculpture, she recreates a contemporary vision through her freedom of expression by constructing powerful and untouchable living sculptures.
