BE OPEN Art is pleased to announce Wouter van Wessel @woutervanwessel, a Dutch photographer raised in Sweden, as its Artist of the Month for February 2025, as voted by art enthusiasts worldwide among those featured in our online gallery.
A 2024 graduate of the Royal Academy of Art The Hague (KABK), Van Wessel uses documentary photography to explore the changing landscapes and communities of rural Sweden. Wouter’s work captures the tension between generations, embracing subjective perspectives and evoking themes of melancholy and isolation while documenting the peculiarities of human connections within these evolving settings.
At the end of 2025, out of the monthly winners BE OPEN Art Community will select the Artist of the Year, who will be awarded a 1000 euro prize and offered publicity aimed at boosting their career.
