Photography: Color on Aluminium, Glossy Varnish. What is it? Abstraction?.. Erotic?.. Stone and water as symbols of the male and female beginning. A water being the essential life element, without which life couldn’t exist. And a stone as a metaphor for eternal and long lasting power, and symmetry showing the balance between these two essentials. Movement of water and absence of motion for the stone under a certain angle, with a lighting game creating a mirroring reflection enchanting the symmetry, and elaborating on the balance between the two beginnings. This balance is a necessity for nature to maintain its equality, harmony, and freedom. Fifteen interesting photos at first glance remind abstraction, but after further investigation, you start to notice Sea-scapes. Slow and methodic movement of water which crosses paths with the impenetrable stone obstacle and transforms into abstract shapes and figures, and within seconds a new form is born as new life. As a famous saying goes, you can endlessly look at three things, one of which is the movement of water, such as the flow of water in the river and mighty force of the ocean wave, smashing full-force, on to the sea-side stones. Same could be said about these artworks, endless dimensions of varying shapes and figures, never become boring to look at, and return us to the question of our purpose in life.

BIOGRAPHY. Portrait painter and ironic and free artist Vlad Loktev began his career as a photographer in the late 80s, at the Slava Zaitsev Fashion House, where he worked as a model. Flipping through the western fashion magazines and imitating world masters of fashion photography such as Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton and Herb Ritz, Vlad soon became deeply attached to the school. Loktev's work, to which he is still loyal to this day, was heavily influenced by the culture of the 90's. The artist was inspired by the emotionality, sexuality and beauty of the female body, as well as the fluidity of its movement. In the early 90's, the artist collaborated together with the RED STARS agency and began to develop a modeling business in Russia, and this project enveloped him completely. Almost all of the most successful models began their careers working with Loktev. At the height of his career, his hard work culminated in two personal exhibitions, which resulted in the public taking a real interest in his photography. With the advent of glossy magazines in Russia, Vlad Loktev became the most popular photographer of that time. Fashion and man fully defined his role in the world of photography.
