"The Silent Inquisitor" Print

My work focuses on remote and fragile landscapes, often shaped by water – as ice, sea, mist, or a thin reflective surface – in places where human presence feels small and temporary. I create long-term series that move between documentary and minimal abstraction. In recent years I have photographed from the polar regions to South America, Africa and Asia, using the camera to slow down encounters with landscapes that are usually passed through quickly. I am a Ukrainian photographer based in A Coruña, Spain. My series “Icebergs”, made during winter voyages in Greenland, received a PX3 2025 Bronze Award in the Nature/Water category. “The Water Between Us”, photographed in the floating village of Ganvié in Benin, was shortlisted for PX3 State of the World 2025. My current body of work, “Between Surface and Light”, explores intensely coloured surfaces of water where reflections, plants, fish and minerals dissolve into near-abstraction. I studied at the Kyiv School of Photography, and my work has been exhibited in Paris, including the “NEW VOICES” contemporary photography show and the PX3 2025 Winners Exhibition. I continue to develop projects that explore how the natural world is changing, and what remains when human presence steps back from the centre of the frame.
