The history of the Soviet Union is a clear example of how Propaganda
shapes the worldview, values and way of life of a person. We, who were
born in the Soviet Union, sincerely believed in the values that we were
inspired in early childhood. And only during Perestroika we discovered
the Other World.

Svetlana is a fine art photographer from Kazakhstan. She uses style of an old portrait painting to create images that are thematically focused on identity, relationships, emotions and dreams. Her immaculate technique creates beautiful evocations of universal emotions of beauty, femininity and fragility. She expertly visualizes atmospheric dreams, utilizing the uncanny and clever metaphor, while unlocking what it means to think, feel, dream and express in the modern world. Svetlana has exhibited internationally with collective exhibitions in Europe and the USA. She has also exhibited at Paris.
