Maisey van Elmpt, former Maisey Gilbert and Maisey Monsma. Born August 10th 1993, Almere, The Netherlands. Living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Currently a student at the Willem de Kooning academy in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Her works are mainly focused on herself, to understand the world around her. To reflect on the world surrounding us and therefor she invites the viewers to become a beholder of a fact that meets her cognisance. To explore opinions or perceptions and understand the world as an abstract form. To escape but to come back, to lose and to hold. These subjective views are reduced by scientific research, traveling and personal matters.

The inspiration I get from working on subjects are mainly obtained from an interest I developed around the medium photography, solitude, facts and close surroundings. I have a desire to go beyond capturing, by reflection on photography, without the use of "photography".
