ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This snapshot represents a rejection of excess. It speaks to us, saying, "Look how weary you have become with your bright storefronts and flickering screens!"

The two figures on the water, weightless and carefree, seem as if they have stepped right out of the pages of some novel where everyone is also trying to find salvation in consumption. But here, there is nothing except the primal chaos of the world. They float in the abyss, gazing into the infinite sky as if they are waiting for this very moment in their lives to be priced.

In the distance, mountains rise like old billboards, reminding us that some things can still remain constant amidst our relentless chase for the new. The water's surface vibrates under the touch of the wind, as if they are pages of text yet unwritten, offering us the chance to choose whether to keep inhaling the stale air of advertising or to start living genuinely.

In this photograph, there are no tearful nostalgias or pretentious complexities, only the purity and simplicity of being that scream in the face of all the trash we deem important. It's the pause we take when we want to remind ourselves that the world is not just malls and office towers. It is a reminder that sometimes we need to stop, breathe, and see the boundless magnitude of life, unencumbered by price tags.

AUTHOR
From St.Petersburg to Munich.
From one art world to another.

Once upon a time, I lived a nomadic
and creative life. But there’s much more
to my story.

I’ve traveled to far-away lands, and have met a lot of nice and quirky people along the way.
People that have been inspiring me to create still and moving pictures.

Academy of Fine Arts, surrounded by creative people in film and music and other fields were part of my education in professional photography.

For me, as a photographer, the most interesting subject is a human.

I am a portrait photographer who is looking for something honest and real inside
each of us.

I am inspired by stories that happen to us;
I like it when you are sad, and I like it when you are funny.

I love to provoke, and I’m guided by my intuition, but often I tend to remain mysterious.

On another note, everyone likes pasta for dinner, don’t they?
