Andrii Maikovskyi

Andrii Maikovskyi is a fine art outdoor photographer based in Chernihiv, Ukraine, member of the National Society of Photo Artists of Ukraine, member of art association 'Kyivphotos-Hall', Awarded Photographer of 1x online gallery.

In his artistic journey Andrii seeks the sense of serenity and meditativeness in the fluid world photographing landscapes, architecture, destinations, nature, and abstracts. It seems like hot “fast fashion” tendencies is popular now and try to draw away the viewer from the world’s integrity and interconnections to clipability and fragmentation of perception. So calmness and harmony are exactly what the modern human world lacks and what photography can give it, and Andrii tries to bring that sense to a viewer through his works.

Andrii doesn’t utilize generative AI neither for creation of works nor for their post-processing or editing. The real world around us is infinitely intriguing and diverse. So he utilizes in his work the pure fact of photography shot and classic plain editing apps in his Linux-based PC studio.
