Montem Aeternam

• Photographer
  Ludmila Espiaube, France

Grandiose, amazing, mysterious, spellbinding, no superlative is excessive. I think that no
one could remain indifferent to the splendor of Yellow Mountains, certainly ephemeral, but
timeless at the same time. Its landscapes are fleeting. Sceneries created by an
uninterrupted game of ethereal fog with rocks and trees change every other minute. The
granite peaks, sharpened by time and elements, float sometimes in a serene and cosy ocean
of clouds, sometimes in menacing and agitated one, appearing and vanishing such of ghosts
to the liking of the fads of Chi Po, Chinese God of Wind. The hundred-year-old pines, or
the young ones, shaped in bonsai by weather and the nature of soil, soften the austere
rocks and the abrupt cliffs playing hide and seek with clouds.

Born in Soumgaït, industrial town of Azerbaijan, ex-republic of disappeared Soviet Union, I’m living in France since September 1986.
Education: Master's degree in Applied Mathematics
Married
2 children
I'm a self-made photographer. The purely documentary photograph does not interest me. I'm looking for an aestheticism, a harmony in my framing. My style reflect my personal interpretation of an ambience, my subjective vision of beauty, of elegance, strongly influenced by millenarian arts of engravings and of calligraphy.
