About

Born in Belgium, Niels Devisscher is a Berlin-based multimedia visual artist, writer, and digital creator.

His fascination for the living world and desire to give human voice to the language of nature encouraged him to pick up photography at the age of 15.

Curious about the shifting edges where the human meets the more-than-human world, his landscape photography — presented in Thesis, inquires into the living conversation between humans and their environment. It also serves as a testament to the soul and emotionality embodied in the natural world. His style is characterised by his eye for detail and minimalist compositions, the use of soft light, and the focus on conspicuous shapes.

In Antithesis, Niels presents a series of photographs of abandoned places. From a disused paper factory in the green hills of Germany to the decaying corridors of a mental hospital in Italy, this series bears witness to disintegrating architectures and the breakdown of world-creating stories. Niels’ artistic practice later evolved into collage art, recomposing old images into new and provoking art pieces — the art of Synthesis.

Niels’ work appeared in various publications, and he won prizes in dozens of photography competitions, most notably in The Prix de La Photographie Paris (2020). With his image Tristesse, he won the DigifotoPro landscape photography contest (2018) and went on a journey to Svalbard, framing the beauty and vastness of the island’s ice seas and uninhabited mountains.

As a freelance writer and designer, Niels reflects on the fundamental interconnection between humans and non-human species. He supports organizations on a mission to regenerate our planetary systems and shift towards a well-being economy through strategic communications that are engaging and alive.

He is a proud member of Earth Regenerators — an online community committed to restoring and interweaving bioregions, where he co-founded the Culture Centre — a place to create and share art and explore different ways of asking questions and being together.
