Seascape 1st place winner

Icebergs is a series made during summer voyages in Greenland.
Photographed from a small yacht across night, twilight, and overcast day, the work studies how scale and presence shift at sea. A low horizon and quiet water reduce the scene to essential elements: mass, edge, light, reflection. With minimal cues of place, the images move between documentary record and abstraction - fracture lines read as drawing, planes as sculpture, and reflections double the form into a second, fragile architecture.
The series is less about destination than about encounter: moments when the ocean feels limitless and time slows to the pace of drift and melt.

Sergiy Antonenko is a Ukrainian fine-art photographer based in A Coruña, Spain. His work focuses on remote and fragile landscapes shaped by water - ice, sea, mist, and thin reflective surfaces - where human presence feels small and temporary. He develops long-term series that move between documentary attention and minimal abstraction, using the camera to slow down encounters with places that are usually passed through quickly.

His series Icebergs, made during winter voyages in Greenland, received a PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris 2025 Bronze Award (Nature/Water). The Water Between Us, photographed in the floating village of Ganvié in Benin, was shortlisted for PX3 State of the World 2025. His current body of work, Between Surface and Light, applies a consistent crafted colour transformation to everyday water surfaces, revealing an “other” spectrum in which reflections, plants, fish, and minerals dissolve into near-abstraction.

Sergey studied at the Kyiv School of Photography. His work has been exhibited in Paris, including NEW VOICES - Contemporary Photography Exhibition (13–16 Nov 2025) and the PX3 2025 Winners Exhibition (9–14 Nov 2025).
