About Maarten Kadiks Photography
Unknown art critic: "I believe the artist wants to expose his self-image here. He clearly sees himself as the source of light and actually the incarnation of enlightenment. Simultaneously he feels obliged to protect the world against his fierce look upon society and the numb facial expression that coincides with this. In fact, it's a very thin line on which this natural born artist continuously tries to uphold himself. The tension between this modern day egocentrism and the millennial-radical submission can therefore be cut with a knife." - Amsterdam 2012
