Daniëlle van Ark studied at the Royal Academy of Art in the Hague (2005) and the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam (2013).

She is a visual artist who creates work from a vast array of sources, redeploying them in a variety of media, including photography, film, drawing, installation and sculpture.

Van Ark is interested in the opaque systems of value creation and social status in an era where everything seems to have become reproducible and fleeting.

Her work has been featured in exhibitions including FOAM, Amsterdam, gallery tegenboschvanvreden Amsterdam, Daegu Photo Biennale, South Korea, Museum de Fundatie, Zwolle, De Nederlandsche Bank, UNSEEN Amsterdam, Museum of the City of New York, New York.
