"In MADRID".
Hello everyone out there! It's nearly two weeks ago since I am living in Madrid now. After a really hard week searching for a new home I finally found a little studio, little but nice and new, 5-10 minutes away from Gran Via/Sol taking a metro. My new home is still a bit empty but I think it really gonna look awsome with some furnitures I am planning to buy as soon as I can. The best of it is the view I got one step out of my door, I can see the palace, the opera and a big amazing park, it really makes me feel a moment of peace in this big city full of stress.

ABOUT ME
My name is Jaqueline Vanek and I was born on August 27th, 1984 in Villach (Kärnten), Austria. After High School I start studying Modelling & Casting, a two year long course applicated to Sculpture at an Art College on the Canary Islands, Spain. I was always interested in photography, making portraits and getting crazy with Photoshop, this was the reason I finally get into Artistic Photography in 2005, studying a two year long course full of passion and imagination. Ending summer 2007 I moved to Madrid, where I enrolled in a MA Fashion, Portrait and Advertising course at TAI (Escuela Superior de Artes y Espectáculos).
Lots of my personal work are based on daily emotions and sensations. Inspired by thoughts, images, music, notions or concepts formed by my mind. I love the experimentation of mixing the unexplainable, the sensual, the dramatic, the gripping and the scary. Disturbance, surprises, outrage and disgust by dark, atmospherical and conceptual images. Photography is the perfect way to free my mind, be more creative and express myself in a new way, a way of making them timeless in form of photography.
