"Plain plane cuts"
She graduated from the Kyiv School of Photography in 2021 and ever since she is exploring the still life genre of photography.
“I was fascinated by the world of art photography after getting acquainted with the works of the most famous artists. Through my art experiments, I discovered that with the capabilities of my camera I can get a photo visually very close to the painting. I like to immerse myself in the world of painting in this way. In my artworks I am trying to reveal airiness, to erase borders between fine art and photography, to blur boundaries between reality and figment, to achieve aesthetic content by combining the ordinary and the unusual.”

entry description
In my new project, "Plain Plane Cuts", I am using paper and scissors, along with the interplay of light and shadows. I am fascinated by the process of combining colors and shapes and attracted by the illusion of volume in these flat paper still lifes. My intention is to present them to the viewer in a unique and unconventional interpretation. The seemingly meaningless plane in my work transforms into a tangible form, resembling an actual object. Through the use of the illusion of volume, I aim to surprise viewers and cause them to perceive an object that appears remarkably real, even though it doesn't actually exist.about the photographer
