Shrouded in Desire,Fine-art portrait by Menno van der Meulen — balancing between darkness and revelation, where desire hides beneath the surface and light becomes confession.

Shrouded in Desire (2012, Nijmegen, The Netherlands)

Shrouded in Desire unfolds as a meditation on exposure and concealment.
A portrait suspended between darkness and flesh, it captures the instant where identity dissolves beneath surface and shadow.
The body becomes both subject and veil — a quiet negotiation between power and surrender, tension and stillness.
Light moves across skin like a whisper, revealing what desire tries to hide.
