Best of Photo Basel 2024 by The Guardian and PhMuseum; Finalist of the Aesthetica Art Prize 2024; Nature Photographer of the Year 2024 by Prix de la Photographie Paris.
Alexej takes all his pictures underwater during scuba dives. His artistic philosophy combines abstract and fine art to highlight the link between land and sea ecosystems, aiming to foster love and respect for both to combat environmental harm. His work - blending photography and painting - showcases the underwater world's beauty and fragility, using surrealism to broaden viewers' perspectives and stimulate creative, conservation-minded thinking.
Alexej, a devoted diver and photographer born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, has a background in rocket engineering and a formal education in photography from the Kiev Photography School.
His artworks are still affordable, making them a great opportunity for art lovers and collectors as his market continues to grow.
