Open Theme nominee

The series of presenting diptychs reflects human internal changes during the life, the important discoveries for his improvement.

“Broken but Beautiful”. In the picture — a seashell with a broken ridge, a broken dry branch and a bend of a woman’s back, but even broken they make up a wonderful, unique composition. Everything that is given to a human in his life, all the difficulties and troubles, in order to become stronger.

“The Art of Intimacy”. This picture is about love, the pace of rapprochement, and the distance between lovers.

“Lightness” is about inner freedom, movement and harmony of human. Those feelings when a person doesn’t make big bets on life and isn’t afraid to lose anything. There’s no dependence on the dreams of the mind, and there’s only a colorful, foggy world around.

“Spiritual Path” is about a special journey of human spiritual growth and improvement. The path of overcoming oneself lies in a range of different states. This is not a smooth life line, but an abstract and thorny path to oneself.

“Closer to the water” is about the important to make pauses in the fast-paced world, to feel reborn and renewed.
