I started taking pictures at school, in the last grades I took a Fed 2 camera from my grandfather (russian analogue of Leica), filmed something during travel, walks, etc.
I deliberately started filming in 2017.
Experiment with the image, shoot through polyethylene, glass, work with a portrait.
For me, this is a very important method of creation. Simplifying and freeing painting from the shackles of reality. Graphics and painting give opportunity to work exclusively with the subconscious, fantasies and images, while with the help of a camera you can create pictures along with the visible world.
A digital camera has generally simplified, accelerated and increased the amount of work. It helps to evolve faster and more efficiently on your creative path.
How did you get into photography?
I have been drawing since the age of two years, at the age of about 23 (now I am 30) my room began to turn into a workshop, at the age of 25 I actively began making portraits. I started to invite models, and now I continue. I like freedom and experiment.
I work in different techniques, collage, hand print, graphics, scanography, etc. the instrument and method of expression depends on the composition and its idea, sometimes a frame can become a poem or a melody. It is up to the artist to decide what is more appropriate and clear.
Inspiration .. a lot is inspiring me. Probably the most important thing for me in the picture is the presence of the eternal and the timeless. Of course, these concepts are abstract.
Necessary things for ne are - depth of knowledge, cultural and moral roots, anthropology of the image to it's source, not a superficial temporary mass media.
- How would you describe your photographic approach?
What am I trying to express with my work? Probably, this is faith and hope that human can be human. Hope for the light of enlightenment, for rationality, for the saving force of beauty and purity, a part of which is in everyone. And of course my work is a joint creation of my "I" and my life, our union - it gives the idea and strength, I return with gratitude. Such a process.
- Any influences/sources of inspiration?
A lot has influenced - starting from society and nature, ending with music and arts. Everything is important. But if you list the "isms": renaissance, expressionism, futurism (russian "Budetlyane")
...
I don’t quite understand the question about the appearance .. Perhaps these are translation problems.
But if this is about my appearance, then I become my paintings, merge with them. It seems to me that this happens with every artist. After all, the body of the artist is like a bare nerve, always in the process and on the alert - grace, clothes, everything begins to behave poetically and expressing its insides, twisting with time.
