Mont Saint Michel: against the flow

Here it is: gloomy, mystical and grandiose. The spear of medieval town scratches the sky. But the bottom is surrounded by water and quicksand. This is how my geographical dream looks like. It is called Mont Saint Michel.

Moscow: into the wild emotions

The word “genesis” means origin. In the first book of the biblical scriptures called “The book of Genesis”, this term refer to creation of the Earth. Legendary Magnum photographer Sebastiao Salgado called his exhibition “Genesis” to show us Earth like it used to be in old times. With his work he makes us back to the roots. But isolated places on Salgado’s photographs do not scare with its wildness. For me they rather reflect the background of Brazilian-born photographer – pure and emotional.

My first exhibition

Dear friends,

I would like to invite you to my first personal photo exhibition!

Artists used to say, that any work they create is like their own child. In such a case I am mother of many children. Seven of them are hanging on the black walls in Moscow’ center, in Cafe Receptor (B. Kozihinsky lane, 10) till 20th of June..

Iceland: water marked.

The name of this country suggests it’s chilly and icy. But instead Iceland appeared to me as astonishing place in the middle of nowhere with absolutely fantastic colours of nature. Yes, sometimes wet. Ask ordinary islander what does he think about his country and he will definilely reply that he loves Iceland and its nature, but not weather. In summer icy face of this island melts and showers on visitors with unexpected rain sometimes, but most often with its breathtaking waterfalls.
