Godfried van Sambeek

After a period of creative rediscovery, Godfried van Sambeek has fully devoted himself to the photography of the human nude. From his studio in the village of Zijderveld, he develops a visual language in which vulnerability and strength are in balance. His work explores the boundaries between the visible and the felt. At Van Sambeek, the human figure is not merely depicted, but dissected in silence and emotion—a quest for the essence of presence. Each image carries a restrained intensity, in which the nude is not provocative, but reveals a form of pure humanity.In his figurative portrait art, Van Sambeek weaves technique with intuition. His photography invites stillness, to look beyond form—towards the human being itself.
