Series of photos 'Pastel'.
I dived deeply into colours and shapes while working on the 'Pastel' series of photos, trying to bring it closer to the idea of fine-art paintings.
Aiming 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, I created this series of photos in a delicate pastel technique.

She graduated from the Kyiv School of Photography in 2021 and ever since she is exploring the still life genre.
“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 an ordinary and the unusual.”
