Marnie Haddad

Artist Statement

The Renaissance hero, trapped in a romance; wistful, interpreted in a cinematic vignette. I capture the fantasy of cinema where ordinary objects take on a deeper meaning - arranged flowers, curtains locked in folds, an old telephone. There is love, and there is always loss.

These images are inspired by Haddad's deep love of classic film, extravagant environments, and cinematic staging that depict scenes through subtle illumination. Painterly hues and technical precision anchored by a romanticism - scenes within an imaginary Hollywood hotel.

Haddad’s mastery of combining camera technique with a constant light source, enhanced by digital technology becomes warm and ‘film-like’.
