RECOGNITION
Mari Saxon is a Russian-born conceptual photographer based in the USA since 2022. Rooted in academic art education and long-term architectural practice, she constructs her visual language through staged compositions. Her images are conceived scenographically, employing ironic allusions to classical painting, play, absurdity, and complex symbolism as key visual strategies.
Saxon engages with themes of motherhood, female subjectivity, and self-identification through performative self-portraits, staged narratives, and constructed characters.
Since the beginning of her practice as a lens-based artist, her work has been presented in more than 50 exhibitions, recognized with numerous awards, and is held in private collections.
