Loretta Lux

Loretta Lux was born in 1969 in Dresden, East Germany. Her artwork is better known for her portraits of young children. As you begin to share at these surreal portraits you begin to get a feeling that the kids are keeping some thing from viewer. Their blank stare seems cut though audience. Creating a mystery and a feeling a unrest but a feeling a wonder about the images.

She begin was a painter and she on form, shape and color in her images. She began to develop a signature style--the brushstrokes of her new medium or a feeling of a realistic painting with in the development of her images.


Lux started taking children's portraits about eight years ago, when she shot a couple of frames of her nephew. She feel in love and realize what comes across so vividly in her work. When it comes to her artwork Lux feels that children are the most honest models. That they create a mystery that comes through the image.

She wants people to decide what to see and never forget what they see.
