De Hasseltse kunstfotograaf Steven Thoelen heeft met het prachtig fotowerk ‘Conglomerato di consiglieri per il bene supremo’ opnieuw een internationale prijs gewonnen. Deze keer won de 43-jarige kunstenaar de Silver Star-award op de Neutral Density Photography Awards 2021. Een prestigieuze online wedstrijd voor fotografen.
De buitenwereld definieert Steven Thoelen weleens als een kunstzinnig en excentriek fotograaf. Zelf spreekt hij liever over ‘beeldbouwer’. Zijn specialisatie: metersbrede scènefoto’s maken. De fotograaf is laaiend enthousiast over zijn award in de categorie ‘People’. “Het is waanzinnig om op hetzelfde podium te staan als de Tsjechische topfotograaf Martin Stranka.”
“Het verhaal achter de ‘foto’ Conglomerato di consiglieri per il bene supremo’ is bijzonder en emotioneel. Vorig jaar beleefde ik een moeilijke periode toen mijn huwelijk eindigde. Ik heb toen 12 ‘oudere’ vrienden verzameld en heb ze in mijn toenmalige loods in Diepenbeek gefotografeerd. De fotoshoots waren niet op één moment”, aldus Steven Thoelen.
De foto zelf is best groot. Het is zowat vijf vierkante meter groot, (2,96 x 1,94 meter) en kost €15.000.
“Dat is best veel. Maar de afwerking is uniek. Er zijn er maar zeven foto’s. Drie zijn de deur uit.”
Voor de geïnteresseerden, de foto is te bewonderen in de B&B la fille d’Oscar in Donk bij Herk-De-Stad. Vanaf 6 december is het ook te bewonderen bij Balthasar in Brussel.
Eerder was de Stevoortenaar al de beste Artist Awards Winnaar op de International Amsterdam Art Fair 2019 en was hij
winnaar van de Global Art Award 2020 (Categorie Fotografie) op de Shanghai International Art Fair.
