Kaat Stieber's fable series explores collaboration using animals. Her fine art photographs make still lifes come alive with birds, which are key to her stories. Kaat works in a unique way: she first builds her own detailed sets. Then, she finds and photographs birds in nature to finish her images. This mix of her own design and natural elements creates special art. Her work invites you to see life's surprises and the magic of being together, all told with wisdom and humor.r.

Kaat Stieber is a fine art photographer who weaves the worlds of surrealism and noble Dutch art into her images. Mixing her broad set of creative skills with an internationally acclaimed background in theatre and costume design, her photos are assembled with vast craftmanship. Kaat's works of art resemble tableaus from the Dutch Golden Age, a rich realm of paintings and a constant source of identification. An admiration of surrealists adds to the scene.
