Live in Kyiv, Ukraine.
I have been practicing art photography since 2010.
Member of the Ukrainian Photography Alternative and the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers.
I shoot on film. Work with various analog techniques (classical black and white gelatin silver prints, lith-prints, hand-painted prints etc). Work with subjective photography, study the phenomenon of memory and its physical and symbolic influence on emotional and historical perception of events and objects. Explore the subjects of human and nature, body and sexuality, examine the city life, reflect upon the war in Ukraine and its long-term impact.
An important part of my practice is making handmade artbooks of my photo series. I consider it important to make objects with the presence of the "hand of the author", which are unique and unreproducible.
Was exhibited and published in the USA, Great Britain, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Lithuania, Sweden etc. Participant of the London Art Fair, Volta Basel, Volta New York etc.
