Andrey Phi

I am a visual artist based in Berlin, working with the image itself — photography is my raw material, not my end point. Since 2015 I have been building SPECTRA, an ongoing image-based system: photographs of real surfaces — walls, plants, glass, light, urban traces — transformed through mirroring, symmetry and colour inversion into symmetrical image spaces where perception begins to recognise faces, landscapes and portals. Each work keeps its real origin: the mirror invents nothing — it reveals the order already present in the image. Born 1984 in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, raised in Berlin, I spent twenty years as a director of photography — a training in light, surface and structure that now feeds the work. My pieces are realised as large-format objects on acrylic glass, fine-art print, silkscreen and textile.

Background in visual storytelling and image-making through professional cinematography (DoP) and long-term artistic practice. My artistic language developed through ongoing self-directed study, studio experimentation, and collaboration across film and contemporary art.
