Thieu Riemen is a Dutch artist-photographer based in the South of The Netherlands. Originally he was educated as a painter at Academie voor Beeldende Vorming Tilburg (Academy of Visual Arts) and art historian at Leiden University. His photography develops from an interest in the landscapes in the South of the Netherlands. These landscapes have changed enormously in recent decades. In this respect it is important to note that Riemen is driven essentially by an emotional involvement with place and rather than by an attempt to gain some exact knowledge about changes that have occurred.
