Fine Art nominee

This project is dedicated to the beauty of the human body, free from objectification and stereotypes. Each photograph explores the body as a unique and expressive entity, deserving of contemplation rather than judgment.

The female body is presented here as a symbol of strength and vulnerability, harmony and contradiction. Through soft lines, the interplay of light and shadow, I aim to portray it as a work of art that evokes emotion and respect, not evaluation.

My goal was to create a space where the viewer can pause, feel the beauty of simplicity and authenticity, detach from societal noise, and see the body as something spiritual and inspiring.

My name is Tatjana-Aleksandra Aljautdinova, though many call me ATA for simplicity. I was born and live in Estonia. My journey in art began at the age of seven, attending creative workshops in school and later at the KUMU Art Museum. Despite my passion for art, I pursued a degree in IT due to family expectations.

Photography became my creative outlet when my first child was just a month old. I took my first year-long photography course to capture everyday moments, and this marked the start of my artistic journey. Over the past seven years, I have completed numerous workshops and masterclasses, and I am currently continuing my education with another year-long course.

My work is deeply personal, often exploring themes between the lines, using metaphors and symbolism rooted in my childhood experiences. I am drawn to everyday moments, femininity, and the passage of time. My style incorporates blur, noise, and double exposure to evoke memory-like imagery.

Currently, I am completing the "Art Through Touch" series, which combines photography with various art forms, and developing mixed-media projects addressing vulnerability and emotional depth. My goal is to become a visual artist whose work resonates with viewers on a profound emotional level.
