Mood changes of the Sea
The pictures do not fit ordinary underwater photography since they investigate the surface and not the deep of the sea. Presented is a view suitable for underwater creatures that are curious about the world beyond their natural environment - as humans are curious about the world below the water surface. Here the viewer can dive into the photographs of the mesmerising waves like the creatures of the sea do in their daily life.
I strive to vividly depict my underwater experience and share it with the viewer, to remind them of the beauty of this world and reinvoke the sense of urgency to look after nature as above so and below water.
Alexej, a Ukrainian-German devoted diver and photographer, highlights the beauty and human-induced distress of the underwater world through his work. Born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, he holds a diploma in rocket engineering and received photography education from the Kiev Photography School.
Alexej's art bridges photography and painting, employing abstract and fine art styles to underscore the link between terrestrial and aquatic worlds. With his distinctive style, he aspires to elevate underwater photography to powerful contemporary art that advocates for peace and environmental protection.
