INSIDE AROMAS - Limited Edition of 25 Photograph

BIO: My name is Tania Kupriyanova. I am photographer, visual artist. Member of the Union of Russian Art Photographers since 2021. I was born in Russian Town Vologda in 1964. In childhood father gave me a photocamera an i shot portrites of schoolchildren. That is how my photo activity began. In 1983 i have moved to Moscow. In 2000 i've graduater photoschool in Moscow and only in 2012 my style Art-Deco is been created. Now i'm having very ineresting changes in my creation way. In november 2021 ther was a project BEYOND THE CONSCIOUS.. It's about our inner world what we communicate with every day. Where we may find a support and some personal opinions what we looking for making important decisions. I was inspitare by Karl Jung\s philosophy of archetypes and i kind of opened up a small window to inner sace. In december 2021 i've created more author's artworks like THE VEIL and LONELY TEAR. The concept is the intersection of feminine and flower shapes and flexures and show those very fashionable and gracefull. My inspirations i found in Gustav Klimt artworks. When he was going to create Adel's portrait, she asked him to paint her naked but covered. That's how i've got an idea to combain flowers as clothin elements with female silhouette. In sentimentals i show some very familiar various states of mood and conditions. Also i integrate flowers into the artworks as story detiles. AS: In my artistic practice I explore the limits of the portrait genre. The subject of my research is psychoanalysis, archetypes, interaction between the conscious and the unconscious. I make portraits in which there is always a reference to the other. Because only in another’s gaze, through a prism, can the subject be assembled into a coherent image. For me important the way the past and the future collide in a caught moment, in this infinitely extended, frozen present. A subtle dualism, my love of the equivocal unify in an expression, look like considerate uncovering of essential clashes, which are explorative, encounters between life and death, light and dark, the beautiful and the ugly, love and loneliness, the masculine and feminine, naivety and complexity. That way is a reflection of my desire to find a reliable support to define and to answer the question “who am I?”.
